While I was waiting for your reply, I stopped by the local Ace Hardware. I picked up a couple of ½“ bulkhead fittings that will work nicely.
Good to hear. Much easier.

I’m guessing this how you recycle excess CO2 from the top of the chamber, this is clever – I think I’ll do that as well
You can thank Playfair for that little tidbit. I can't claim that one.

You also use a 2nd venturi to draw water in from the Tank.
It is actually just the one venturi that I decided to inject the CO2 and water from the tank into. It ws a convenient spot. I normally use a mini jet to feed the reactor. Works great.

Should I put a dab of silicone sealer into any of these threaded connections or is the Teflon tape adequate?
I have only ever used teflon tape.

Oh yeah.. one other thing. I am making a slight change to the recirc loop up top. What I plan on doing is enlagring the hole where the fitting then placing a piece of acrylic over top of this to create a small hollow place where the CO2 will collect. That way the intake for the recirc loop is the highest point on the reactor. Then no CO2 at all will collect up on the top.
