Default Cal reactor question

How do most of you get your supply water?
1- Teeing of the return line form your sump
2- Dedicated pump like a MaxiJet

Peristaltic pump directly out of the sump.

Mine is gravity fed from the overflow. There is a good 10ft drop to the reactor and it seems to work well for me

Thanks everyone

Little more fancy now compared to the picture since I've changed the return pump and plumbing but easy to do off return (reactor feed is tapped into the 45°)
