Did you have the Osmolator feeding from a storage tank and then put the reactor in line later? How did you add/plumb the reactor in later?

Marshall Island Rock

I need to add a little height to the rock structure in my tank and want to stay with Marshall Island Rock. Lately I've been reading that it is scarce. Anyone have any idea why?
