So you can run both in the same reactor not 2 reactors in series?

Edit: I just downloaded the installation instrctions from Two Little Fishies, in it they acknowledge that carbon and Phosban can be installed in the same reactor.

Two Little Fishes and Rowa Phos with an old Aqua Clear 30 powerhead.
Bag of carbon in sump.
I change the carbon more often than the Rowa so wanted it seperate.

I just started using the GFO/Carbon reactor from Bulk Reef Supply. It uses refillable cartridges in an RO style filter housing. There is a single filter version as well that you can run GFO and carbon in the same cartridge.
With the foam in-between the GFO will tumble and the carbon doesn't.
They recommend a MJ-1200 for the twin version but I have it teed off the return line.
I think it's pretty slick, I was tired of fighting with the lids and connections on the Little Fishies reactors.
They have a video on their site showing how it works.
