calcium reactor dosing pump

it depends how far you want to take it. Some use regular submersible pumps but given some time the flow out of that pump will change. So some turned to dosing pumps but not many pumps (at least the ones used in this hobby) were not designed to be ran 24/7 on a calcium reactor. Another option is to run off the manifold but again, varying flow rates = varying effluent
The best option for the most accurate flow would be a dosing pump designed for continuous use. Hospital grade/ medical grade pumps work well for this though they tend to be expensive.

I have been operating with Cole Parmer dosing pumps (reactor and ATO) for over a year and you cannot do better
