Help me boil K1 better

[rodger]

I have a 100 gallon stock tank with 110 liters of K1 that I just can't get boiling satisfatorily. I have a Pondmaster 60 for an air supply. I didn't cheap out and use sand airstones. I used ten 6" ceramic cylinders. I also have 6 sponge filters running just to keep seeded in an emergency.

The media just don't roll. I have way less media to water according to the manufacturer. I try adjusting the water up and down. I tried two 1000 gph pond pumps but they just seem to keep it pushed at the sides. I have more air diffusers ordered. Any ideas?
Thanks

If you have less media to water that might be a problem. When there is adequate media, it will push all around rather than all of it shoving to the sides. Try egg crating a section off, maybe cut the tank in half and see what happens. You will also be able to concentrate the diffusers better in a smaller area.

How long have you had the K1 in water? It takes a while before the media stops floating and begins to boil.

About 6 months, but the bio load isn't real heavy. I have seen YouTube video with it much darker.
