Evolution Aqua K1 Media 50l - movable "Kaldnes" filter insert
Moving filter media provide much more effective biological filtration compared to even the best and most porous ceramics. This media has better access to oxygen and nutrients, which influences the faster development of nitrifying bacteria. It is used for effective water purification in aquariums or ponds.

Description
Exceptional contribution to mechanical and biological filters
K1 Media are characterized by a diameter of 10.5 mm and a length of 8 mm. Their weight is 150 kg/m³. Each cubic meter of K1 media offers an enormous total surface area of 950 m², of which 500 m² is protected surface. These media are especially preferred in biological filters, such as those found in ponds.
How does the moving insert work?
The K1 insert should move freely within the entire designated space. The lightweight insert is easily "carried" by the water current, thus remaining in constant motion. It effectively reduces ammonia, ammonium, and nitrites from the water through the action of nitrifying bacteria.
Why is the moving insert better?
This leads to a rapid increase in the population of nitrifying bacteria, which effectively and quickly lower the levels of NH3, NH4, and NO2. Through vigorous mixing and constant collisions with each other and the walls of the filter, the K1 cubes clean themselves and shed bacteria. This has significant implications for filtration due to two advantages resulting from the shedding of bacteria from K1.
First: it provides space and opportunity for new bacteria to colonize. Second: bacteria migrate to other media and the tank. They settle there and improve filtration.
In which filters can it be used? How to use it?
In any filter with a media container, namely:
- Pond: pressure and flow filters. Brand examples: Jecod CBF or UBF, or homemade from tanks, barrels, or large baskets.
- Marine aquaristics: there will definitely be room for this insert in the sump. Even if you hadn't planned for it before. The insert can be used with others. The floating K1 medium does not take up space from existing inserts.
- Freshwater aquarium: external filter - you can put K1 in the media basket, for example, fill 1/2 of the basket's volume. Internal filter; such as SunSun CHJ or Sea Star turbo or Aquael Turbo have baskets for such inserts.
