since the k1 sorta like floating..is it ok to be used for other type of filter like canister and so on because so far all of the k1 user only use it for sump tank..

okay jea...no a problem

in canister?in that case i'll buy some soon..hehe

bro, every filter media u also want to try ...
btw, what aro u hv now?

MGBB..i already setup my canister so im not going to touch it for very long time..but my new tank didnt decide what to use as media yet..bought ac..aqua clay and mineral stone..i believe should be sufficient but maybe i wont use the ac..see la how it goes..

what to do..newbie maa...learning curve now..but i guess k1 not nowla bro..later when the aro already big abit and when upgrade tankla..at that point of time will buy sump tank rite?will use k1 then..maybe by that time easier to get already..

k1 media not recommended to be put in canister..coz, k1 media are mend to be aerated with strong air..means powered by high dosage of Oxygen..keeping strong and active nitrifying bacteria..meanwhile, during the aeration process which make the k1 self collide, weak bacteria or dead bacteria will fall off the K1 surface, giving space for new strong active bacteria to colonize..

So k1 = unlimited strong and active nitrifying bacteria..no need to change unlike any other stationery medias..

If u put the K1 medias inside canister, it will still colonize by bacteria, but losing the properties of knocking off dead bacteria and growing a group of powerful bact..

Me and pigpig are trying to import K1 in bulk..we will keep u guys update on this..

so the best is still sump tank am i right to say that?

OMG LEGGEDY AND PIG PIG PLS DO SOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *LIKE STATUS *

Added on April 9, 2012, 6:00 pmthanks for ur support bro..and another reason why many supplier wouldn't want to bring in K1 is becoz if ppl started using K1, sales of ceramic ring, larva rock, etc etc will definately drop alot..but hobbiyist will need to know the advantages of K1 in the first place..

bro ...basicly the k1 media is actually a self-cleaning bacteria house for bb...k1 needs to be aerated and circulate it with a strong power head ( which i think is better to improve the self cleaning ) since k1 is moving/rubbing to each other, dead/old bacteria will eventually fall off and only the strong ones will cling to the media...thus your k1 media only holds the strongest and healthiest bb to fight for your tank..the best thing is...since is self cleaning..you don have to worry bout washing/changing the k1 media anymore.....you will have the best BB to cleanse your tank..but ofcourse, weekly/monthly WC still recommended

i've read this k1 thingy last few months ago and i found it very very good...almost perfect media for a sump tank users. Im aactually planning 1 compartment in my sump tank for k1 media with powerhead and strong air stones. I just cant find anyway to get my hands on it LOL .... any sifu out there can elaborate more? im just stating some k1 info..im sure theres a lot more to be explained lol...
