sounds like a good plan to me Nitty Gritty , hope it works out for you
might be a good idea to run carbon on its own at first and then later if your tank indicates it needs it (frequency of glass cleaning is a good indicator) then consider adding the GFO back into the system

bear in mind the different flow rates and exaustion capacities of carbon and GFO , carbon can take a decent amount of flow and providing that stops it compacting and only expossing limited surface area to water

GFO tumbled to hard , tends to grind to dust

Yeah I hear ya, I have them in separate phosban 150's now, heck I may just pick up the third for the pellets. I like my equip to match and all 3 lined up would be awesome. 8)

I run all 3 in my RSM 130

I run just BP mainly due to the fact that there is less less maintenance and cost with BP ie, reloading carbon (every 2 weeks), and GFO (once a month). And I don’t have a lot of room under my tank, it was one or the other.
