Does anyone know if the Phosphate remover media should be on upper tray with the carbon media on the lower tray or vice versa (or does it matter) in the external filter?

Welcome to R2R!

Any chance you might be able to add a Refugium with Chaeto instead?

It doesn't matter if you put it top or bottom tray. Realistically flow will be the same through each.

Thanks, I did think that but just wanted to be sure, had to remove media as was treating tank for Cyano
 
Welcome! As stated already, it should not matter, but filter floss first regardless to catch particulates so as not to clog your media. ;)
