Evolution Aqua K1 Media 3l - movable "Kaldnes" filter media

How does the moving media work?
The K1 media should be able to move continuously and throughout the entire designated space. The lightweight media is easily "captured" by the flow of water, remaining in constant motion. It effectively reduces ammonia, ammonium, and nitrites from the water through the action of nitrifying bacteria.

Why is the moving media better?
It is the rapid growth of nitrifying bacteria that effectively and quickly reduces the levels of NH3, NH4, and NO2, rather than just their presence. Through vigorous mixing and constant collision with each other and the walls of the filter, the K1 media cleans itself and sheds bacteria. This has significant implications for filtration due to two advantages arising from the shedding of bacteria from K1.
First: it creates space and opportunity for new bacteria to colonize. Second: the bacteria end up in other media and the tank. They settle there and improve filtration.

Popularity and research on K1:
Moving media is gaining increasing popularity. Research conducted by Evolution Aqua, ongoing for 15 years, shows that moving media is the future of all water bodies, including: ponds, freshwater aquariums, and marine tanks.

In which filters can it be used? How to use it?
In any filter with a media container. That is:

- ponds. Pressure and flow filters. Branded ones like Jecod CBF or UBF, or homemade from tanks, barrels, or large baskets.
- marine aquaristics: There will definitely be a place for this media in a sump. Even if you hadn’t planned for it before. The media can be used with others. The floating K1 medium does not take up space from existing media.
- freshwater aquarium: External filter; you can place K1 in the media basket, for example, fill it with 1/2 the volume of the basket. Internal filter; such as SunSun CHJ or Sea Star turbo or Aquael Turbo have baskets for such media.

Does K1 have to float? Can it be "static"?
The media can also be used as a regular biological media. It is not required for it to be moving. However, its ability to float and mix increases its efficiency.

The package contains 3l of Evolution Aqua K1 MEDIA.
