How to Use K3 Biological Filter Media

K3 media can be used in two main ways, depending on your filtration needs:

1) Static Bed Mode
In this setup, the filter is primarily used to trap suspended solids. These solids must be completely removed from the pond or aquarium regularly. Cleaning is simple: expand the media bed with air and flush the resultant mixture to waste. Ensure the filter is not packed tightly—leave at least 15% space to allow the media bed to expand during cleaning.

2) Mobile Bed Mode
Ideal for advanced filtration systems, K3 media can be used as a fluidized or mobile bed, where the media is fully in contact with waste and oxygen. The constant movement prevents the accumulation of solids, ensuring maximum efficiency. The media must first be conditioned for a few days to achieve neutral buoyancy. Initially, it may float high in the filter but will settle and operate perfectly within 1–2 days.

How Much K3 Media to Use

Correctly sizing your filter is crucial for maintaining water quality:

• Rule of Thumb: 1 liter of K3 media for every 4 grams of fish food.

• Example: For a daily feeding of 200g fish food, use 50 liters of K3 media.

Remember, it’s better to slightly underestimate the amount of media. Filter performance and fish load can vary over time, so always monitor water quality regularly after installation.

Recommendations for Best Performance

• Always include a method to remove suspended solids in all but the smallest aquaponic systems.

• Solids should be removed completely and not just trapped in the media bed, as decomposing solids consume oxygen and create waste.

• Do not fill solid removal filters more than 80%, leaving room for bed expansion during cleaning.
