Hi, I have tried it with 500ml bottle, but there no bubble come out.......

can u show me what's going on?

[suanzytan]

@teluxks Did you poke holes on the sides of the bottle?

[kelvgan]

Maybe you may put it upright vertical instead, should work better

[suanzytan]

@kelvgan, if I were to put the bottle upright, the powerhead won't be able to suck the dirt from the bottom of the tank. =)

[suanzytan]

I would say that the bottle is too long for the bubble jet to reach the right end of it.

Anyway, some of the stationary media started going with the flow the next day.

@81mrmusicman No that is a good question, I am curious too..

[81mrmusicman]

silly Question, but are using an airline-that goes in the bottle with the power head???, Im asuming thats how your getting the bubbles- or is that just the power head creating the bubbles

@suanzytan You're using an airline, he isn't. Jebus.

Love k1 media. This design makes poor use of the k1. Your not supposed to blast the shit out of it with a power head but rather it needs to gently tumble

this is good for discus fish and all other fish to reduce the ammonia .. NICE JOB
