Evolution Aqua K1 Micro Media 50 Litres

Product Information

The beauty of K1 media lies with its ability to be easily cleaned and resistant to clogging. Due to its neutral buoyancy a small amount of air injected into a filter will cause the bed to move, thus separating the excess solids from the media surface area. The solids can then be run to waste. In this way the effective surface area remains as high as possible. Alternative Filter Media

As the K1 micromedia moves within the filter, it causes the old dead bacteria on the outside to be displaced. This makes space for new younger heavier feeding bacteria to rapidly colonise. Within the wheel is a protected surface which enables colonies of bacteria to naturally follow their lifecycle, of maturing, dying and then fueling the latter stages of the nitrification cycle. K1 micro media has been designed to provide the best possible habitat for both young and mature beneficial bacterial colonies. The minerals act as a food source for the bacteria, helping the bacteria to develop and multiply at a faster rate, further improving maturation times. As a Rule of Thumb I would suggest that 1 litre of K1 media should be allowed for every 4g. of fish food.

In the centre of the wheel is a protected surface that allows the growth of a secure biofilm that is able to resist collisions when operated as a moving bed. Why is it important?

Unlike foam, matting, or other forms of static filtration media, the K1 Media is designed to move freely within your filter. The constant, chaotic movement of the air from your pump causes the media to self clean and thus requires no maintenance. This allows the filter to reach optimum effectiveness without the disturbance of periodic cleaning, avoiding unnecessary loss of bacteria within the filter.Unlike foam, matting, or other forms of static filtration media, the K1 Media is designed to move freely within your filter.

K1 Micro Filter Media personally the juries still out on k1 for me . only removed the multibay and jap mat due to space .when the drum was added

HP is Hydrogen Peroxide. It's basically water but with an extra oxygen molecule added - H2O2 is it's chemical formula or is it symbol? Manky Sanke's the best for that answer. It may be water with extra oxygen but I wouldn't recommend drinking it

If you bought the Eazy Pod 10 years ago it's (am I'm just guessing here) more likely to bestandard K1? You'll soon know when you try to put it in your tub. You could clean it in smaller quantities which will make it easier to swill around and sieve out the grass? Incorporating Kaldnes Moving Bed™ Process. Developed by Professor Halvard Odergard at Trondheim University of Science and Technology the Kaldnes Moving Bed™ bio film process has been designed specifically to create the most effective environment for the nitrification process to take place. The media is engineered in a wheel shape and is slightly positively buoyant, allowing a small amount of water flow (created by adding air to the process) to circulate the media throughout the vessel.
