Evolution Aqua K1 Filter Media

{Description}
Evolution Aqua 2018 K1 Filter Media

High Performance Filter Media providing a large protected surface area

How it works:
• Maturing the K1 Media bio-media is important because a delicate eco-system is naturally developing for the bacteria involved in the nitrification process
• K1 Media provides the maximum active surface area for the bacteria to colonise, more than other types of static media
• It is this process which removes harmful ammonia and nitrite from the water

How it is different to other media:
• As the K1 Media 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 Media has been designed to provide the best possible habitat for both young and mature beneficial bacterial colonies

What is meant by 'self cleaning'?
• 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
• 50 Litres of K1 media will handle up to 250 grammes of food per day
