Got my 470 gallon running finally. First time using k1 media. I have 15 gallons of it to start. Its in roughly 45 gallons of water. 1100gph air pump, added a wave maker in there as well. I let 3 small bags of it float in one of my other tanks for a few weeks. That stuff seems to be tumbling. The rest is just piled ontop as you can kind of see. Is there anything I can do to help it get going? Add more regular media in there for a little bit or anything? Appreciate any input!
