you can try !!! In my experience diffusers (the glass ones with a ceramic plate) need quite a bit of pressure compared to a ladder... so you may find theres not enough pressure from a reactor.

It is better to use the bubble ladder or infinity diffuser because it requires no pressure for it to doffuse the CO2 in the water whereas the ceramic diffusers require alot (you can even blow through them) so this can cause the bottle to crack or something to split etc. I have used a cermaic beofr with a DIY and it was fine.
