You might break the bottom plate in the TLF reactor doing this too, so you might need to beef it up with a custom cut acrylic one from your local CNC shop.
+1, as long as you can aggitate them properly I don't see a problem. The Zeo Reactor makes it easy, but I have heard of people just putting Zeolites in carbon bags and putting them in a flow area and manually mixing them aroung. I can't say this method works either, but I have heard of it being done.
