I am looking for the different ways to feed my calcium reactor. I have all the parts to install it in the next few weeks and am looking to get some opinions.

Please vote in the poll then let me know any more specifics you can add. Also if you have pictures of your setup that would be cool to see as well.

Thanks!

I use a MJ 600 or 400 to feed mine, it only has to keep up with the drip rate so doesn't have to be very much.
I have thought about a manifold off the return pump but for the few ounces it takes its probably not worth the effort, plus I can put a sponge filter on the MJ so the source is cleaner than the return is in reality.
 
I know there are more Calcium Reactor users out there... Only 4 votes and even on the method so let's see some more opinions.

Those who run off the return pump, can you describe why you chose to go with this option?
