Unfortunately it is not feasible whatsoever, sorry to say. Generally speaking anyhow. Reactors run at a fairly high pressure which you won't get out of a pop bottle. The FW DIY jobs are low pressure situations where they bubble right into the water column. Even if you could dial in a reactor to run at a low enough pressure to accept bubbling in from the yeast, you'd never get a steady state situation because the pressure will vary over the lifespan of the yeast (ie., it will never be the same day to day) so you'll not really get worthwhile results out of the reactor.

FWIW, I had to run my regulator at close to 20psi to get consistent bubble rates and flowrates. (I don't run a reactor anymore, I've switched to 2-part dosing. Sold the reactor and plunked the CO2 onto my planted FW!)
