Default input on calcium reactor

I have some pics of the pluming ruffed out for my reactor I would like your
input on. The main tube well be 16"tall the second tube well be 12" tall so
I can mount the pump on it. The base well be 7" wide by 14" long.

you might consider putting the 2 T's where the water goes in on the same side.
alternatively put only 1 T at the pump end and use a small T for the water/co2 in,
otherwise seems good to me.

My only suggestion would be to switch your water in a co2 in. With your
co2 being injected that far above the pump if the flow is slowed down as
the media compacts, you could end up with bubbles not being pulled down
into the pump.
