Where would I find this clear fitting? Would the local aquarium store have it?

I'll see what they have at the Petsmart nearby. I could just drill a 3/16 inch hole and pull the co2 tubing through it but I would rather not go that route right now.

you won't find it at a pet store. Home Depot or Lowes should have it. called a 1/8" nipple I think.

You can also use rigid airline tubing from the Petsmart or petco.

Get a 1/8" MPT from Home Depot. Then "drill and tap" the reactor and then thread the fitting into it. It would be strong than silicone.

I bought the airline tubing kit from Petsmart yesterday, $2.99, came with 4 fittings and 6 foot of airline tubing.
