GrahamC Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 I used a handful of the K1 media today. Put it into a Sprite bottle after I first drank the contents. Cleaned off all the glue and then drilled holes everywhere to allow water to circulate. Cut off the top so I could fill with media and put the inside part of a magnetic glass cleaner inside. Drilled a hole in the cap to put in an airline, and joined it to a air stone on the inside . Squeezed the lid back on again and put into "new" trademe tank upside down. The outside part of the magnetic cleaner allows me to move the filter around. The K1 media is circulating but the bubbles are making significant noise. I have another sponge filter there to help clear some solids and the bubbling from this is adding to the noise. Going to see now how long it takes for the media to turn brown with bacterial slime. Since it is circulating satisfactorily, I could add more media now. And obviously if I turn up the air pressure on the air pump, the media does circulate faster but also is noisier. Bubble, bubble, toil and (hopefully no wife) trouble ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 a cubic meter is about $600 I could fill a water bed with a cubic metre! I filled my bottle to half, and it has been fluidized for a month now, and the k1 looks as new as the day I put it in. I see no visible microbial slime. Perhaps archaea likes my sand bed better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
