Hey guys, I have a manifold set up and I wanted to add a reactor like this:

https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/brs-gfo-carbon-dual-reactor.html

The piping size of the manifold is 3/4" PVC and I am not sure what parts I need to tee off the 3/4" piping to a quick connect flex hose that would feed into the reactor. Can anyone point out the right pieces to pull this off?
 
This is the way I got mine connected, all purchased at hd store locally...

Oh ok, so the first piece reduces it to a 1/2" and then adding a push to connect fitting onto the reducer. Not sure why I couldn't figure that out lol. Thank you

Yep! You're welcome! There's a few ways to you could hook it up. Homer Depot and Lowes by me usually have something that will work. Sometimes they are a little sparse on the quick connect fittings, but you should be able to find something that will work. I also use teflon tape on the threaded fittings. Some people use the liquid thread sealant instead. If you use neither, it may leak a little, or if it's tight enough it may be ok.
