    Sorry if this is a dumb question but, can I put multiple medias in a two little fishes phosban reactor? For example, could I have GFO and Chemi Pure Elite in there?

    If they are medias that share the same flow needs than yes. Some media needs to be tumbled while some needs to stay still as not to grind itself up, so they should match up. It's also good to keep some kind of divider in between different types of media.

    Media also has different useful lives such as GFO and carbon. You either end up tossing the GFO too soon or going too long on the GFO. I use seperate reactors myself.
