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
