Description
MPN: K3MEDIA50L
Ideal for DIY and conversion projects
K3+ Media is ideal for use in both moving and static-bed filters, K3+ Media is versatile and perfect for D.I.Y. projects and conversions.
- Enhance and increase your biological filtration with K3+ Media.
- Large format media designed to be easier to control when retrofitting into an existing filter, minimising the risk of passing through grid slots.
- Moulded with minerals for faster beneficial bacteria development.
During the extrusion process, Evolution Aqua add a range of minerals, along with magnesium, calcium, enzymes and salt to the raw material that is used to manufacture K3+Media. The result means that K3+Media will mature much faster than many other types of media.
- The addition of these minerals creates a rough surface on the media. This textured surface has a microscopic honeycomb of peaks and craters that allow waste particles to collect, and nitrifying bacteria to form.
- The minerals act as a food source for the bacteria, helping the bacteria to develop and multiply at a faster rate, further improving maturation times.
- Calcium alone has proven advantages for developing and maintaining effective bio-films.
- The enzymes that are added also help to make the media “sticky” so waste particles can adhere to media easier.
- Salt is added during the extrusion process, which is dissolved during the cooling process, leaving a rough surface on which bio-film can easily adhere.
