Use a T and control the flow that way..Use 2 valves. You need to gently tumble the phosban with light flow but would need more flow threw the carbon..

I use black diamond carbon--its got a good reputation Its good to use two reactors because the carbon should be changed every two to three weeks while the phosban can go a couple of months(depending on the level of phosphates in the tank)
