In the interest of future searches, I wanted to put this pic here in DIY.
It's my DIY CO2 reactor using a Flourish bottle, a rubber washer, micro-jet pump, sponge, bio-balls, a couple suction cups and an airline fitting.

I cut the neck off and used a rubber washer to wedge the adapter from the microjet into the top. This allows the pump to easily slide on/off the reactor. Drill holes for the suction cups, one for the airline fitting siliconed in place, and cut the bottom out and put a few bioballs and a piece of sponge in it.
This thing is easy to access and clean, is quiet, and works great! Plus, I put it in the corner and the extra flow (~70gph) keeps debris from building up there.
