Use of 2 medias in 1 reactor

In both cases you'd at least be able to change the media independently when it became exhausted.

Two reactors T'd off of one pump (not to be confused with two girls and one cup) each with its own ball valve for individual flow control.

Exactly

this way doesnt work....unfortunately most people run the reactors in series in which case its impossible to get the right flow to the right media.....its like "It dont matter where you pinch the garden hose.....its gonna slow the flow to the whole hose"....
