Doesn't Carbon adsorb phosphate as well?

Persoanlly I am running Zeo Carbon in a phosban reactor. Using the zeo method it does suggest simply running the carbon passive in a mesh bag and knead daily but I found that this did not seem to be effective in my case. Once I started running fluidized I noticed immediate improvement in water clarity.

I have run a single TLF phosban reactor or two TLF phosban reactors using a single maxi jet 400.
