best water flow
I was going to put a media bag in the overflow box, is this going to cause a problem (there seems to be enough room). Where will I get the best water flow on a wet dry (for the phospahte remover)?

As the media bag gets dirty the flow thru it will slow. if it slows to much then it will overflow onto the floor causing the infamous flooding.
If you put one there make sure its cleaned regularly and the flow does not impact the overflows performance.

That doesn't sound good. Any suggestions?

I use a cheap HOB filter for GAC or other media. It would be much safer than in the overflow.
