Any recommendations on a moisture trap for the airline on a recirculating CO2 scrubber?

This would be perfect if I could get barbed 1/2 fittings on it.

Hydronix HX-HF3-5CLWH12 5" Housing Rib Cap for RO & Filtration Systems, 1/2" Ports, 1 Count (Pack of 1), Clear/White https://a.co/d/atSzw8S

Its the right size, but can go smaller.

Right now I am using a copepod jar I glued barbed fittings onto, but I think when I handle it the seals crack some and I can't be sure when I seal it back up its not leaking air.

Currently my skimmer lid doesn't form a vacuum the way it would prior so I assume it's not sealing anylonger.
 
I do get a lot of moisture from bubbles that will not pop from carbon dosing, I am not sure those fittings will hold up. But its a good consideration.
I would NEVER use a brass fitting near a saltwater tank, my eyes fell to the dessicant packs, slim design, and drain on the bottom.
