Josie:

First, thanks for the great deal on the K1 media and instructional video. Well, I made mine and it has been in the tank for about 5 days, waiting for it to get gross. Only suggestion I have after watching your video is to make the top holes higher as the height of these top holes govern the max height the media will tumble. If they are too low, the top of the bottle will simply fill with air, but the media obviously will remain at the water line governed by these top holes.

Here is a short video of mine installed in my adult tank. I will be making a 2nd one for my juvie tank shortly.



Cheer,
Darren

Thanks Josie. I would love to get some babies out of this group. 3 of these I just got from Sean a few weeks ago (ZX10R on SD). The MR I have had for about 8 months (fish from Hans) and the CBP I bought from Kenny back in June and he grew so fast, I had to remove him and put him in with these fish to keep the game fair. He is the smallest of this group, but he holds his own. The cone I picked up from Barb at NADA ATL. Its mostly in the tank for WTH effect at this point, but you never know what could happen. I have the RO ready in case anybody gets frisky.

Cheers,
Darren

This Kaldnes media is used in fluidized bed filters for aquaria and municipal applications. See links below:

Where can I get the damn suction cups. The best I've found so far are from home depot and the nipples on the back are too big imo.

Try the four packs from KensFish under the Eheim section in the "Replacement parts & fittings" They are the ones for the heaters. You'll need to drill a 1/2" hole to make these work.

Dan I got them from home depot very cheap......Josie

I got mine from home depot too but I don't believe they're the same as yours. I'll have to do more scouting.

Thanks Steve, seems feasible if I can't find something local.
