Kaldnes Media Since the development of the Kaldnes Moving Bed™ process and its succesful introduction into the waste water treatment industry in 1991, Kaldnes K1 media has become the industry standard throughout the world. How It Works 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. This makes space for new younger heavier feeding bacteria to rapidly colonise. Within the whell is a protected surface which enables colonies of bacteria to naturally follow their lifecycle, of maturing, dying 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. What Is Meant By 'Self Cleaning' Unlike foam, matting, or other forms of static filtration media, the Kaldnes K1/K3 and Bio Chip 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 innecessary loss of bacteria within the filter. Complete Nature's Balance Since the development of the Kaldnes Moving Bed™ process and its successful introduction into the waste water treatment industry in 1991, Kaldnes K1 media has become the industry standard throughout the world. However Kaldnes have not been idle and they have continued their extensive Research and Development programme to further improve the efficiency of their process over the last 12 years. The Bio Chip is the result of this programme and is much more than just a different shaped media. Although the total protected surface area is more than 2.4 times higher than K1 - this is only part of the story. The main difference to K1/K3 is that the protected area or quiet zone in Bio Chip, is designed to be the perfect environment for micro animals, not just bacteria. The extremely quiet zones created by the hydrophilic layer protecting every cavity in the Bio Chip, is critical to allow these micro animals to flourish. With other types of media they will be flushed out. Kaldnes K1 in Water Kaldnes K1 at different maturation levels

Kaldnes Biochip Media 25 litres Ref: MEDIA25LBCHIP Add to existing K1/K3 moving bed in ratio of 20% in volume to total media volume. 1 part Bio Chip to 4 parts K1/K3. The main difference to K1/K3 is that the protected area or quiet zone in Bio Chip, is designed to be the perfect enviroment for micro animals, not just bacteria. The micro animals feed on small particles such as, fish waste, dead bacteria and algae. Gleaming healthy water, high in oxygen content with low BOD ( Biological Oxygen Demand) will follow! enlarge image.. Price: £68.95 (Including VAT at 17.5%)

Kaldnes K3 50 litres Ref: MEDIA50LK3 50 litres of K3 will handle up 225grms of food per day. For retro fit of existing filters, K3 media is the most suitable due to it's larger size and ease of control. enlarge image..
