    Should I keep the media in the pouch or remove it? It seems counterproductive to keep it in the pouch, but the media looks smaller than the filter. What are other media options?

    Thanks!

    Not sure if I understand the question. You are keeping Phosban inside the same pouch as ChemiPure?

    No, sorry. In my Phosban reactor.

    So you want to put PhosBan & ChemiPure inside the same reactor?

    Just to jump the gun, assuming you want to put ChemiPure and Phosban in the reactor.

    I would keep it in the bag since ChemiPure lasts 4 months and PhosBan/GFO lasts 2-6 weeks. Make sure the PhosBan/GFO is on the bottom and maybe ziptie the bag of ChemiPure in the middle of the reactor.

    The Phosban is my reactor (Phosban 150).

    I'm sure it'd work, but I have no idea what kind of flow you'd need.

    Have you ever recycled Purigen? I've got some that's about ready... never tried it before.

    Nope. I've never used the stuff. My issue with the Chemipure in the pouch is that it restricts tumbling. I should have clarified that earlier.
