 Kaldnes K3 media is similar in
application to Kaldnes K1 media, in that the constant chaotic movement of the air from
your pump causes the media to self-clean and thus requires no maintenance. K3 media
is different than K1 media, as it is designed to be used in the retrofitting of existing
filters bays as the slightly larger media size allow for easier configuration and
control.
For best result, add 25% Bio Chips to the K3 media. Click here to

50 Liter bags = 1.77 cubic
feet of media.
Unlike foam, matting, or other forms of static filtration media,
the Kaldnes K3 media is designed to move freely within your filter. The constant chaotic
movement of the air from your pump, causes the media to self clean and thus requires no
maintenance. This allows the filter to reach optimum effectiveness without the disturbance
of periodic cleaning, avoiding unnecessary loss of bacteria within the filter. 50 Litres
of K1 media will handle up to 250 grammes of food per day and for K3, 225 grammes of food
per day. For retrofit of existing filters, K3 media is the most suitable due to its larger
size and ease of control.
Like K1, K3 is self cleaning and very efficient as a
bio media. However it is larger than K1, K3 has a multi layer and multi spoke construction
and is ideal for retrofitting into a conventional filtration system.
Surface
area 584 Square metres per cu.m. Kaldnes K3 is a buoyant media.
