Do you use reactors??  What do you use them for?  Carbon?  GFO?  Bio Pellets? 
 
How do you have them plumbed?

All of the above! I believe they increase the contact time of the media. I use small maxi jet pumps. 
The time we enjoy wasting isn't wasted time!!!!

I used a gfo , carbon reactor . It was a dual reactor and its simple as a small maxi in your sump to the reactor and back to the sump. Poly tube worked fine for me no need to make it complicated. the inlet on the reactor came with a small valve to control flow which controls the flow and the media churning in the reactor . to little is not good and too much isnt so good either , check bulk reef supply reactors and it has a short video to help .
