Reactor / s?

I'm working on an 80 gallon tank with a 55 gallon sump...I'm putting the skimmer and a refugium in the sump but I'd like to prepare for reactors in the future. Do I need multiple reactors for calcium and phosphate media? I'm up for all suggestions. I do want some sps but not the main focus. if that helps thanks.
Tom

It's best if you use separate reactors for each type of media. Calcium and biopellets need their own individual reactors. Carbon and GFO can be combined in the same reactor but again if you have the means separate them.
