It works great on my overstocked goldfish tank

I have a moving bed filter on my overstocked 550 gallon cichlid tank.  Works like a dream.


I had a custom aquarium builder in US build a custom sump to support the K1.

They r brilliant. I have a small unit in the tank.  It’s visible and tank is 60 litres

I’m gonna build one to go on my 8 foot tank once it’s finished. The sump I’ve designed will hold 270l of k1 which is nice because my plan is to keep a pair of Rays and they produce so much waste

i think you would get just as much if not more performance out of growing a load of pothos in that section its silent as well lol

Thanks for sharing. I appreciate you explaining the technical setup of your aquarium.

I tried one out looked cool but  couldn’t live with the noise

GG

I’ve never thought the moving bed filter was superior to any other biological filter

I always find a decent wavemaker works better with K1
As you say when using a lot of air you get the noise and temperature drop
Using the wavemaker solves both issues

What happens if you have a power cut? The tank drains and the sump overflows surely?

Biological filtration also includes the reduction of nitrate using anaerobic bacteria. A moving bed filter, on the other hand, works exclusively with aerobic filtration. I suspect you have a high nitrate level and therefore need to perform frequent and large water changes.

What size sump is that and how did you build the different baffle sections.

Nice tank u got there I have the same problem can’t get the k1 media to move with multiple airstones so they tell me to get a airpomp for the koi ponds around 1800l/h is it maybe better to buy a pump and make pvc with holes ? I am new to the moving bed maybe u have the answer by now

Thanks again for ur video

Hi
Good Vid...

I am using Pond Water feature pump,placing it in the middle of chamber and it pushes it around very good-no dead spots....

Some good info, Moving beds are the best and very efficient

Using it on heavily stock chiclad tank aswell..


Ammonia???-Well that's a thing a past.....

Great videos

Looking forward to the next 1

Are they loud?

How many  k1 media?
