the setup in my picture was all I had to feed my reactor and used the small JG type ball valve for control

ya, that.. the drip valves are a cheep needle type valve. on the output is fine, and a ball valve on the input is fine as long as your just using it as a on/off or don't need fine control, I regulated my reactor at the input, not the output.

I used an irrigation drip valve on the output of my last calcium reactor set up years ago...

Not sure if you got one yet do do what your looking for, but this is what I used. Also used for drip irrigation and it simply threads onto 1/2" PVC. The one I got splits into 4 - 1/4" ports but there are ones that split to 2 ,4 or 8 I believe. I just got it at Home Hardware.
