I have one I made on my tank. All you need is pelletized lime. You can buy the expensive lime that is designed to be used for scuba tank filling, which the biggest advantage to that is it has very uniform pellet size, which means it packs better.
Reality, any lime will absorb CO2, but you can't use powder, it has to be in pellets. I put a tube to the air intake of my scrubber, put the tube in the top of a sports drinking bottle I bought at DI for 50 cents, then drilled a ton of tiny holes witha drillbit in the bottom of the drink container. Filled the inside with the pelletized lime you buy at Home Depot in the garden section. I think it is somehting like 6 bucks and it is enough to fill my drink container 4 or 5 times.
all you want is to split the air so it goes around the pellets. the more surface contact with the air you have and the lime pellets, the better it will scrub. You are NOT putting it in the water, just taking stuff out of the air, so the exact type of lime pellets are much less critical.
Lowes did NOT have any pellet lime, Home Depot was the only one I found. I got mine at the Home Depot on Redwood and 90th south.
below is some cell pics of my massively cool uber scrubber, DI price sticker still on bottle!!!
