How much k1 media?

[eddiegunks]

hello all

I have a 300 gallon tank I'm setting up. I have a 55 gallon sump. I was considering tying a 55 gallon tank to a 30 gallon tank to add more volume. I am planning to book these two tanks together due to constraints with the design of the stand.

I plan on housing one-2 stingray, one arrowana and several severum. I would like to plan for a heavy bio load. I would like to over filter. How much K1 (in cubic feet) do I need for this filtration? Do I have enough area for the amount of K1 that would be required?

Thank you

Eddie

I'd say you'd struggle to fit it in and have space for it to move properly. I have a 350 gal and am using 150l of K1 micro in a 120 gal sump and that's pretty full.
