This may fall into the category of being crazy, but what if you took the CO2 enriched air from the wet/dry gas stripper, and pumped it into the top of a refugium filled with your favorite macroalgae? Instead of having to breathe the extra CO2, the macro would suck it up instead. Might help replace the alkalinity the macro consumes. If the gas transfer to the water in the refugium was fast enough, you could run the now CO2 depleted air back to the stripper.

Dang. Where did the book with all of the gas transfer equations run off to?
