Hey Guys, I was thinking about getting a GFO reactor from BRS and Instead of getting another powerhead I was thinking about Teeing my return from my chiller off and using the flow from that. Good idea? Bad Idea? Some input would be great. Thanks

For your GFO reactor you need low flow.
If your chiller output is too high and you restrict this you are pressurizing the entire chiller. If that is not a problem then you are fine.
But I would not want to pressurize a chiller.
I think it would be better to TEE off the chiller supply line, before the chiller.
You can reduce the flow on that line before the chiller and it will not be affected.
