Howdy,
I have an extra Phosban 150 reactor. I am already running RowaPhos in my other one, and phosphates are under control.
Should I jut run some carbon in it? If So, should I stick it in a media bag first, so that the carbon isn't tumbling and breaking up?
Or, should I use an entirely different type of media that would be beneficial to the tank?
Thanks!

I use one for carbon and gfo and daisy chain to use only one pump

I had an extra TLF150, ended up turning it into a skimmer waste collection cup. Not in use anymore, but it was the only thing that fit in the space allotted. Replaced the skimmer with a model that has a much larger collection cup, so no longer needed.

Maybe some extra bio media?

We do the same.

I ordered two 150's by mistake and initially didn't know what to do with extra.
I run GFO in one and Eco Bak Biopellets in the other. Use a single pump to feed both.

Fill the second one with biomedia and the next time you buy a fish you'll have seeded media for QT.

I run carbon in mine. I was thinking of getting another to run GFO in that.. and just daisy chain them together so as to not need another pump.

Just curious tho, with daisy chaining doesn't gfo and carbon require different flow rates?

They do, but sicne each reactor comes with a flow control knob, you could place the higher flow reactor first, chained into the lower flow afterwards.
