Phosban media in fluval filter

[xroads]

I have an extra Fluval 404 sitting around. Instead of buying a new phosban reactor, can I just put the media in the canister filter. I was going to use 2 layers of phosban & 2 layers of carbon

Thx

yes you can i am doing the same because i talked to nick at my lfs and he told me to put it in the canister

I suppose you could do that, but as much as the phosban costs you might want to consider just buying the real deal, just so you know you are getting you moneys worth. I believe the theory behind the reactor is low upward flow through the media without channeling, besides they are only 30 bucks, thats like what....one oil change?

And we all know how much I like mugging old ladies...

You can but you have to use a media bag and keep it tight.... it's not nearly as efficient.

don't get me wrong but I go to pets playhouse all the time and Nick is not the best person to ask saltwater questions.

Or like three oil changes if you do it yourself.
