I have inherited some phosban reactors. I already have a media reactor running Rox Carbon, and i have low phosphate already.

Whats an alternative use for these?

I was thinking of using one as a spare reactor I move vetween FW tanks for carbon as needed on occasion, like for medison clearing or something, but what else could I do?

I was kind of considering bio pellets, or maybe the zeolite stuff, but idk. What would yall do?

The less to clean the better :)

My spares live in a box in the garage.

This might be the smart answer, as I wad reading through, I see my idea of what zeolite does was not correct, I thought it was more of a bacteria food source to send bacteria through the system, but see while it does do that, it mostly just sucks up nitrates and ammonia which I have few of and have to dose already.


Miiiiight consider biopellets still if its a good bacteria source, buuuut idk sounds like it might not be worth it with the low nutrient struggle I already have.
