[APD] CO2 Reactor Questions

[rockel <rockel at attglobal_net>]

 I am running DIY CO2 through the intake on  my Ehiem 2215 canister on 
my 35 gal. tank. I am losing a lot of CO2 through the spray bar and 
would like to build a reactor. Through the archives I found this site 
http://www.aquaticscape.com /articles/co2reactor.htm  showing the 
construction of a reactor.
Some questions.
Can the reactor be used with DIY CO2?
I assume by "inline", you cut out a piece of the plastic tubing approx. 
the length of the reactor between the intake and the canister and 
install the reactor where the piece was cut out?
Do you  need the airline connector or can you still have the CO2 go into 
the intake of the canister in the tank? By having the airline on the 
reactor are you just taking a tube out of the tank for appearances or is 
there another purpose for the location on the reactor.
Thanks for your comments.
Dale
