Silly question - GFO Reactor
I am getting ready to buy this GFO reactor and I am wondering if I can run both GFO and carbon together in the reactor or if I need to purchase two of them. I am sure this is a
 subject but I can't seem to find any info on it. The website seems to state that I can run both in the same reactor. Thanks for your help.

Silly question - GFO Reactor
I had the MR1 Complete model and only ran GFO. Can't say I could have used both. You might need two of them.

When you run together ou end up using replacing the gfo before it is exhausted. That stuff isn't cheap. The brs dual reactor works well for me

Because they need to run at different flow rates neither can be optimized and you end up wasting media. Spring for 2
