Phosphate Reactor

can one run a bag of phosphate and carbon in the same reactor ?

I have seen reactors made for using both, cant remember the make sorry. They had a small sponge devider to go between the diff media, but pretty much the same as any other reactor.

I use the two together in a canister filter which is 2 thirds live rock and never had a problem.

was thinking becasue the reactor is still halfway empty, if you can get the amount of media that your tank is rated at that shouldt be an problem... cause carbon doesnt absorb phosphate it actually leaks and phosphate doesnt absorb carbon think the best is to put carbon before phophate that if it starts to leak phoshate the phostphate meadia will absorb it.t

As long as you put a sponge divider, its prefectly probable.

I mix both in my fluidized reactor...
