So I just picked up a calcium reactor, and I am wondering what is the recommended way of feeding it?
I'm interested in how others have their reactors fed.

small powerhead of some sort. I have a mag 3 that powers my skimmer and I just tapped into that line and put a ball valve on it.

Does anyone have their reactor hooked up to their ro/di? I know is easier to lower freshwater ph then it is to lower saltwater ph. might help with evaporation also I would think.

Hooking up to a RODI is not recommended as a CARX needs a pretty constant flow and a RODI unit is not that.

I use a Aqua Lifter pump to feed my reactor. got mine from dirk I think it was cheap. Here is a link www.fish.com/itemdy00.asp?T1=710478

I use an Aqua Lifter pump as well, Do get the filter but it is a god little unit and feeds slow enough for a moderate size reactor.
