I've just taken delivery of a 3 stage fluidised reactor... I have rowaphos, carbon and bio pellets to fill each chamber with.. but in what order?

Logic seems to say bio pellets in the first, then rowa, then carbon... but not sure.

Thanks.
 
Seems to me bio should be last or the bacteria it gives off could clog up the other two, or maybe it dose not matter what order you put them really not sure.

Yeah... I was thinking that if the bio is first, the bacteria get all the nutrients before they're partially absorbed by the rowa and carbon...

Carbon last to polish the water on the way out... you're probably right and it doesn't actually matter!
