adding any media in a media bag hardly does anything if it does anything at all the best thing to do is add a phosban reactor they arent expensive but you would need a powerhead to feed it and they are about 3 inches in diameter so it wouldnt fit in the chamber as far as I remember. Maybe you can make a diy small enough to fit in one of the chambers.

or just hang the phosban on the back with the feed pump in one of the chambers. a little tip on the phosphate kits...Most of them are worthless, they will read zero when there is a phosphate problem.

One of the only ways to get a reading is to use a Colorimeter. The problem is they cost about $200. If you don't want to buy one and don't know someone who has one, it's best to assume that the phosphates are there and need to be removed. I run a phosban reactor 24/7 and always will. Phosphates will always be added whenever you feed so you need to have some form of removal.

If you don't like the look of a big phosban reactor hanging on the back you could use it for a couple months to get the phosphates down low. Then you could put some GFO in a media bag and put it in one of the chambers to help keep it down...

Just a suggestion.
