I've had quite a few people ask about how the K1 media looks as it gets coated with the bacteria. The picture shows three stages:
far left- after appx 3 months
center- after appx 2 weeks in my new mbbr
far right- new media

Hope this helps.

Thanks Coach. It's not nearly what I was expecting for a color change.

Inside the MBBR, with thousands of them, they actually look quite dark. The outsides stay clean- per the design. Just the insides colonize. Or is it colonise? The Aussie's spell a few things differently then we do.lol

I slowed the air down in mine as I wasn't certain bouncing them around violently was attaining the desired effect. This weekend I need to open both filters up and see how it's looking. Unfortunately, I can't get to the bottom to see what's happening down there. I imagine it is full of solids my poorly designed RFF is letting through. I need to clean the RFF as well. Fun fun

We drive on the "right" side of the road, you guys drive on the left(wrong). It even says "right". :laughing3:
When ever I go anywhere where they drive on the left, it always seems like someone's going to head-on me every blind corner. :D

I wonder if a black light would show the amount or "thickness" of the colony in different parts of the filter? They do it on CSI all the time to highlight "biological evidence".
