    Kaldnes K1/K3 Media: Moving Bed Process™

    Uploaded by

    Ian Yong
    Kaldnes K1/K3 media is a moving bed filter media designed to efficiently remove ammonia and nitrites from aquarium water. It consists of engineered wheel-shaped biomedia that circulates freely in the filter through a small amount of water flow. This movement allows for old, dead bacteria to be displaced and replaced with new colonies, maintaining a healthy bacterial population. The media also protects bacterial colonies at different stages of their lifecycle to fuel the nitrification process. Unlike static media, Kaldnes media is self-cleaning and requires no maintenance due to its constant chaotic movement within the filter.

    MOVING BED PROCESS

    been scientifically tried and tested in fish
    farming and waste water treatment for over 10
    years, is now available for fish keepers and is

    The media is engineered in a wheel shape and


    is slightly positively bouyant. This allows a small
    amount of water flow to circulate the media
    throughout the vessel. This flow is created with
    your air pump and air or diffuser etc.

    How it works:
    Maturing the Kaldnes bio-media is important
    because a delicate eco-system is naturally developing for the bacteria involved in the nitrification process. Kaldnes media provides the
    maximum active surface area for the bacteria to colonise, more than other types of static
    media. It is this process which removes harmful
    ammonia and nitrite from the water.
    How it is different to other media:
    As the Kaldnes media moves within the filter it
    causes the old dead bacteria on the outside
    to be displaced which makes space for new
    younger heavier feeding bacteria to rapidly
    colonise. Within the wheel is a protected surface which enables colonies of bacteria to
    naturally follow their lifecycle, of maturing, dy-

    ing and then fueling the latter stages of the nitrification cycle.
    Kaldnes has been designed to provide the best
    possible habitat for both young and mature
    beneficial bacterial colonies.

    For retrofit of existing filters K3 media is


    the most suitable due
    to its larger size and
    ease of control.

    What is meant by self cleaning:


    Unlike foam, matting or other forms of static
    filtration media, the Kaldnes K1/K3 media is
    designed to move freely within your filter. The
    constant chaotic movement from 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.
