Running GFO and Bio Pellets?

I run carbon, rowaphos, and pellets. The only reason I run rowa phos is because I found that pellets reduced nitrate faster then phosphate and once one of the two element has been depleted, the bacteria can not remove the other, so the rowa finishes the rest of the phosphate.
