LDPE tubing, aka icemaker hose, works perfect. "CO2 proof" is yet another scam of the aquarium trade. Any polyethelene tubing is "CO2 proof" whatever that means.

I think CO2 proof means that it is not permeable to CO2, like silicone tubing for example. Maybe it's just a big scam because there is such a huge amount of money to be made off of tubing for calcium reactors.
