Never see small inlet for CO2 but you can get the water in/out let from DIY store.
Last time when I did DIY, I use air purging knob and replace it with CO2 inlet.
Thought of doing a DIY co2 reactor, manage to find 1 filter canister.
Any bro know where could I purchase the brass type co2 inlet that could screw into 16mm 0r 20mm T joint.

Shadow, thanks for the photo. Was thinking if can do away with any drilling. Will check out with the hardware store.
I did not do any drilling, I just take out the red thing (its the air purging button) and the CO2 connector just fit nicely. I use epoxy to seal it.
Bro shadow, saw your blog on your DIY reactor. Mine filter canister air purging is different from your model. Hole is quiet small to squzee in the co2 connector.
Can I check with you, your DIY reactor, outflow from the reactor is through the pipe?
The out flow is through normal 12/16 hose
bro, what i meant was the outflow from your internal reacotr was through the white pipe in the canister itself?
why this way, any special reason? In the past, i do have a NA reactor, their direction of flow is opposite of yours. Input to the reactor is thru the internal pipe.
o.. that one, yes my flow is the opposite of the NA reactor that way I can put my reactor straight up. The white PVC pipe is to prevent bubble from go straight to outlet.
Thanks bro. Forgotten NA reactor need to place upside down.
Went to hardware shop and very lucky, manage to get the co2 nipple connection, tee and reducer.
Here's the material require for the DIY reactor.
After installing the parts, the final product.
Glue the internal pvc pipe on. Completed.

Anyone could help to identify what is the back ground plant in the attach link and photo.

I really like the copper part where the CO2 tube is to be attached cos it's much more sturdy as compared to the one on NA's reactor. However i feel that the reactor should have been the other way round with the blue colour part of the reactor at the bottom instead of at the top cos the CO2 tat is pumped in would have a longer time of being mixed before it is pumped out like what you see in NA's reactor??Glue the internal pvc pipe on.

As it is right now from your design, the CO2 tat is pumped in will stay at the top part without it being mixed properly before being pumped out again.
Admiring my Fishes calm the Beast within me
I would like to enquire what kinda sugar will you be using and the mix that you be preparing.
May i know which hardware shop you went to get the co2 parts?? i am wondering if they selling those co2 splitter..wanted to buy one from LFS but my dad told me to look for hardware shop should be much cheaper but i do not know where the hardware shop selling this stuff is located...
