Terryz_ Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 Hows the nutrients level? Quote Member of: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnsfpl Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 my no3 always zero, even during and after cycling i have lots of LR, using an oversized skimmer plus vodka dosing that is why i cant cant compare the result my test kit is not expire as i use it for other tanks too based on my understanding, its good for breaking down ammonia & nitrite only i think this is pretty useless if you are targeting nitrate cheers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not really targeting nitrate as I have bp for it.. Only ammonia and nitrite due to my constant feeding and overstocking for the fishes... Can easily cause Ammonia spike...

dnsfpl Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 based on some review from aro forum its really good if you are targeting ammonia and nitrite due to the movement, only strong bb survive thus improving its effectiveness cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Supporter Harlequinmania Posted June 3, 2011 SRC Supporter Share Posted June 3, 2011 If you check out this video below from Kaldnes which is the manufacturer of the K1 media and the design / logic behind the technology, it should work well. I am using it in my sump compartment with a two air stone running in it to move the media. Too bad there isn;t any test kit to test it;s effectiveness LOL... I remember seeing it as well in the AVA booth in Aquarama which they are promoting using it to promote their water filtration system for aqua-farming. So since even our government agency themselves is using it , it should be good? Just my own view on it though Quote 1000 Gallon Tank in the Hole http://www.sgreefclub.com/forum/topic/120957-1000-gallon-3d-hole-in-the-wall/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terryz_ Posted June 4, 2011 Author Share Posted June 4, 2011 How long does it takes to kick in? Quote Member of: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terryz_ Posted June 4, 2011 Author Share Posted June 4, 2011 After 2 days of trial and errors and sweats... I came up with this @ zero cost... A small tank with holes underneath and a pump from old skimmer.. Not perfect but still serves the purpose... Click to view video.
