Evolution Aqua K1 Media - 0.88 cu ft (MPN MEDIA25L)

The maturation process of K1 Media is essential in creating a well-functioning ecosystem that supports the bacteria involved in nitrification. Unlike other bio-media, K1 Media offers a larger active surface area, which creates optimal conditions for bacteria colonization and the effective removal of harmful ammonia and nitrite from the water. Within the filter, the movement of K1 Media causes the displacement of older, inactive bacteria on the outer surface. This displacement creates space for younger bacteria to quickly colonize the bio-media. The structure of K1 Media also features a protected surface that promotes the natural life cycle of bacterial colonies, allowing them to mature, die, and aid in the later stages of nitrification. With its unique design, K1 Media provides an ideal habitat for both young and mature beneficial bacterial colonies. The technical specifications of K1 Media include a length of 8mm and a diameter of 10.5mm. These measurements ensure that the bio-media is perfectly suited for its intended purpose within the filtration system.
