Evolution Aqua K1 Micro Media 50 Litres

Product Information

Maturing the K1 micro media bio-media is important because a delicate eco-system is naturally developing for the bacteria involved in the nitrification process. K1 micro 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. If you say where you are based and you only need a litre or 2 of K1 someone local to you might have some that you can buy off then to save you having to buy a 25 litre bag of the stuff?

There are two main ways to use it, and combining the two can make for efficient mechanical and biological filtration. If you needed more filtration (i.e. more surface area on your media) just add more K1 into your barrels. There is a limit though. Most people tend to use ST to neutralise the PP. I use HP then give it all a good rinse off with chlorinated tap water.

All it takes is some patience and a paper cutter. The resulting media should be close to K1 in performance. However, it is important to remember that k1 filter media isn’t a perfect solution for all situations. Nonetheless, you can use straw fluidized bed media for your filtering needs. K1 Micro is an even smaller version of standard K1, measuring approximately 6 x 6mm. The polyethylene media has a specific wheel-like shape, with a cross-shaped central portion.
