K3+ Advanced Filter Media

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. It enhances and increase your biological filtration with K3+ Media. The 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.

Minerals added for faster filter maturation

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.

Features:

  • 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.

K3+ Media is available in a 50L bag.
