If I have to stuff anymore filter floss inside my phosban 150 I’m going to flip.
 
I use a BRS container for carbon and it works great and its very simple to maintain.

 
One that has a valve to control the water speed. It depends on how big your tank is, most reactors are oversize for carbon and GFO I like reactors that can be hung on side of a tank/or inside.
Do you have a manifold?

No manifold but I do plan to incorporate one. Right now I just have a pump with a tee to an algae reactor and a phosban 150.

Do you also run the Rox 0.8?
 
I use the AquaMaxx reactor. It comes with two coarse filter sponges, then I add just a little extra filter floss to catch anything that gets through the sponges.

 
I use an aquamax small for my 120 with 40 breeder sump.
It holds about a cup and 1/2 of Rox 0.8.
Flow is adjistable amd its easy to replace media and clean.

Aqua Maxx reactors are really nice when you hook them up to a manifold, lots of example of Red Sea build threads
 
Thank you all for your help. I have decided to keep it simple stupid and just add a draw string style bag to the end of the discharge line to act as a discharge filter. This way if any carbon does escape the reactor it will hopefully be caught by the media bag.
