K+ Advanced SINKING Filter Media - 25 Liter
Next-Generation Filtration for Static and Bead Filters
Evolution Aqua, the company that pioneered moving bed media 20 years ago, has set a new standard with K+ Advanced Sinking Filter Media. While traditional plastic media can take a long time to establish a stable bio-film, K+ Media is engineered to overcome this challenge. This sinking version is specifically designed for static biological chambers, bead filters, and any application where floating media is not suitable.
By infusing the raw material with minerals and enzymes during extrusion, Evolution Aqua has created a media that not only provides class-leading surface area but also matures significantly faster than standard plastic alternatives.
Key Features:
-
Mineral-Infused for Faster Maturation: Calcium, magnesium, enzymes, and salts are added during manufacturing. This creates a "sticky," textured surface that beneficial bacteria can bond to and feed on immediately.
-
Class-Leading Surface Area: Offers a total surface area of 1,350m² per m³ and a protected surface area of 1,025m² per m³, where bio-films can thrive undisturbed by mechanical action.
-
Sinking Density: Specifically weighted to sink, making it the perfect upgrade for bead filters or static biological chambers in koi ponds and water gardens.
-
Enhanced "Quiet Zones": The unique profile includes internal fins and cells that create stable micro-environments for complex organisms like Rotifers and Vorticella, which help polish the water to a high clarity.
-
Microscopic Honeycomb Surface: The addition of salt during extrusion leaves a rough, cratered surface after cooling, providing the ideal microscopic texture for bio-film adhesion.

The K+ Advanced Advantage The performance of any biological filter is only as good as the bacteria living on it. K+ Advanced Sinking Media is designed to be more than just a surface; it is a bio-active substrate. The added minerals act as a primary food source for the bacteria, while the enzymes ensure waste particles adhere quickly, providing the nutrients needed for the colony to multiply at an accelerated rate. For pond owners looking for maximum efficiency in a compact footprint, K+ Advanced is the professional choice.
Application Tip: K+ Sinking Media is an ideal replacement for traditional beads in bead filters. Its increased protected surface area allows for higher fish loads and better water clarity without needing to increase the size of your filtration equipment. Because it is sinking, it also works exceptionally well in down-flow static chambers.
