I am considering getting a Reef Octopus external recirculating skimmer, either the SRO 3000 Ext or the Regal 200 Ext. I am using a CO2 scrubber (it works!).

Question: how would I connect airline from CO2 scrubber to the skimmer? On either model, the air silencer is a long vertical tube with what appears to be a cap of some sort at the top, presumably with a hole in it. See below. Could I remove that cap and connect airline tubing -- e.g., 1/2" ID -- directly over the top of the tube? Remove cap and glue a slip x thread adapter to the end, then screw hose barb to that? Some other method? Thanks.
