hi all i am considering using k1 media in my sump for my 300 gallon tank. so i have approximately a 50 gallon sump due to space under the tank. so i found a calculator that said i should use 15 liters of k1 media. well i have found 25 liters for a decent price so i am going to go with the 25 liters. stocking will be CA cichlids.

how much space do i need for the k1 section of my sump? currently i have a section set up in my sump design that is 17 gallons measuring 11.75x14.5x24 inches i can make this bigger if needed.

the only dimensions that are set are the 11.75 and the 14.5
 
you need double amount for space used of k1.
50lt of k1 you would need 100lt or 26gal
25lts of k1 you need 50lt of space in the chamber or 13gal
