The first one I did I added to much to start and it did not tumble. So I add a little more each week and now all (4) filters are tumbling.   #41 mhowe9 Total Posts : 924 Scores: 2 Reward points : 2479 Joined: 12/15/2008 Location: Auburn Hills, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 120 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Kaldnes Media Experiment Tuesday, December 13, 2011 10:48 AM (permalink) 0 This stuff looks cool.  I have an old skimmer in the garage that I an DIY into a reactor for this.  Anyone see an issues with running this on a reef tank?  I can't think of any. I might end up doing two reactors, 1 for my breeding setup and the other for the reef tank.   #42 wdt Total Posts : 156 Scores: 0 Reward points : 321 Joined: 10/20/2010 Location: Asheville, NC, US Status: offline MBI: 720 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Kaldnes Media Experiment Tuesday, January 10, 2012 7:09 AM (permalink) 0 Any update on how this is working? I am considering K1 Kaldes or Pond Matrix. It also seems like it is cheaper to buy K1 from a Koi supply house, not sure if there is a difference.    #43 Scottt Total Posts : 113 Scores: 0 Reward points : 341 Joined: 12/12/2009 Location: , NY, US Status: offline MBI: 5 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Kaldnes Media Experiment Tuesday, January 10, 2012 6:22 PM (permalink) 0 I think the idea with a reef tank is to just use Live Rock for biological filtration as it does it a little slower.  Ammonia feeds corals I think?  At least at low levels.   The Media is working swimmingly.  One thing we learned was that you have to use it in a reactor, or in a somewhat tall sump.  The circular flow patterns in a bucket work best when the water is at least as high as the bucket is wide (at least that is our experience).   Sorry about being slow with updates and pictures.  'Tis the busy season and we haven't spent much time on the systems other than water changes and cleaning the filter bags.  I do promise I'll take pics as we do adjust things though.       #44 t2rev Total Posts : 53 Scores: 0 Reward points : 284 Joined: 10/4/2011 Location: Blandford, Dorset, GB Status: offline MBI: 0 Pnts MBI Site: Marinefish-uk.co.uk Re:Kaldnes Media Experiment Sunday, January 15, 2012 5:34 AM (permalink) 0 Finally got around to uploading these: Theyre about 2ft high, water flows in at the top and out up the riser.   Insitu:   these take about 4-6 litres of K1. Im using a Koi/pond air stone (the big ball type) but these seem to be degrading, so will likely change to a silicone leaky hose type.     #45 Arc Katana Total Posts : 929 Scores: 19 Reward points : 1293 Joined: 10/20/2009 Status: offline MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Kaldnes Media Experiment Sunday, January 15, 2012 8:20 AM (permalink) 0 Great pics!

I'm planning my new grow-out system now and deciding on filtration options.   I'be been using this in 1.75L reactors in my current systems. Not sure how big a difference it's making. The media hasn't taken on the yellow/brown coloration but everything seems fine where I'm using it.   I'd like to avoid using skimmers in the new systems if possible.  http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."   #56 EasterEggs Total Posts : 1946 Scores: 19 Reward points : 735 Joined: 9/22/2011 Location: Saskatoon, SK, CA Status: offline MBI: 590 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Kaldnes Media Experiment Monday, May 14, 2012 5:15 AM (permalink) 0 Originally Posted by Fishtal I'd like to avoid using skimmers in the new systems if possible.   Why would you not want to use skimmers?   #57 Fishtal Total Posts : 5467 Scores: 37 Reward points : 2908 Joined: 8/31/2006 Location: Waterford, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 585 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Kaldnes Media Experiment Monday, May 14, 2012 10:13 AM (permalink) 0 Originally Posted by EasterEggs Originally Posted by Fishtal I'd like to avoid using skimmers in the new systems if possible.

(A skimmer is not a biofilter, such that a biofilter can't skim.) -Adam   #60 Online Bookmarks Sharing: Facebook Digg Google del.icio.us StumbleUpon Change Page: < 12345 > | Showing page 3 of 5, messages 41 to 60 of 94 - powered by ASPPlayground.NET Forum Trial Version
