other ways to run carbon, phosban, GFO, etc

[jacksonpt]

I'm trying to find a way to occasionally run phosban and carbon. I know most people run reactors, but this isn't an option for me (no room). I used to run them in a small HOB filter, but that's not an option any more either.

I've seen some people with media trays in their sumps. I'd love to see some pictures from people doing this. I'm not sure if I could do this or not, but maybe I could get a few ideas from folks.

Any other options I'm missing? TIA.

The two little fish reactor is small. It can hang inside or outside or even beside tank and all you need is a small pump in tank or sumo and two hoses.

carbon will work by simply putting it in a media bag and dropping it into the sump, as it works by absorption/adsorbtion . gfo is more effective using a reactor. you can always setup the reactor temporarily outside your tank cabinet by running longer hose. or if you have space inside your sump, you can put the tlf reactor inside the sump.

two little fish reactor is small cheap and very versital. it is what i run, i have also put crabin in resealable mesh bag and had it by the over flow pipe from the tank to the sump.
