what kind of filtration do you use??i recently changed from a multibay with alfagrog to a homemade eazypod with a tub of fluidized and an extra settlement chamber with jap mat and i must say the results are remarkable ,i cannot believe the difference the k1 has made it really is wonderfull stuff,
what are ur thoughts on it and on filtration in general ?
what is ur choice of media?
have u any experience of k1 or alfagrog?
im interested in all opinions plz let me know!!thanx

| yes you need something round them it all helps to keep the chill off , the only downside with bubble wrap it can look messy mine is below the decking n hidden away  ive also got triple polycarb lids on as well to help keep all the heat in cus last year when i had a sharp frost the decking above the vortex was clear of frost which ment the heat was escaping hopefully that wont happen again
