I have a used calcium reactor and want to know which way is better to feed water .. should I used a small pump or by gravity or should I tee it from my return pump...input please...never setup one before..thanks
 
You do NOT put ro water into the calcium reactor. You run tank water into it from some small pump in the refugium, sump, or tank.

T it from your main return pump. flow stay's very consistent and doesn't add to heat issues from running more pumps.
 
The best place to find the 3/16" Nylon Barb fittings for this is Elliott's Hardware in Plano or Grapevine. I already had 1" PVC on my return line so hooked up a 1x1x.5 (.5 threaded on the T'ed section) PVC Tee, and found a .5 to .25 busher, and then a .25 male threaded to 3/16" Barb fitting.

after soaking the end of my tubing in hot water it went on perfect and tight.
