(I couldn't find a good way to word that title) 
I've seen a couple in-line DIY CO2 reactor builds where they use plastic airline connectors on the side of the reactor, but I also just saw Rex Grigg's instructions ( http://www.rexgrigg.com/diy-reactor.htm ) where he just drills a slightly-smaller-than-airline hole and shoves the airline through. Seems easier, and actually more reliable than gluing a little plastic connector on. Seems to me it would take more pressure to force the whole airline out of that hole than to force out a little connector. Do many of you run your reactors like this? Any problems? Would I be justified in spreading a little epoxy or silicone around the airline just to be extra safe?
Thanks!
