Evolution Aqua - K1

K1 media has been used by Evolution Aqua in Koi filtration systems for a number of years and is t he UK's leading fluid bed media. 

How it works

Maturing the K1 Media bio-media is important because a delicate eco-system is naturally developing for the bacteria involved in the nitrification process. K1 Media provides the maximum active surface area for the bacteria to colonize, more than other types of static media. It is this process which removes harmful ammonia and nitrite from the water.

How it is different to other media

As the K1 Media moves within the filter, it causes the old dead bacteria on the outside to be displaced. This makes space for new younger heavier feeding bacteria to rapidly colonize. Within the wheel is a protected surface which enables colonies of bacteria to naturally follow their lifecycle, of maturing, dying and then fuelling the latter stages of the nitrification cycle. K1 Media has been designed to provide the best possible habitat for both young and mature beneficial bacterial colonies.

What is meant by 'self cleaning'?

Unlike foam, matting, or other forms of static filtration media, the K1 Media is designed to move freely within your filter. The constant chaotic movement of the air from your pump, causes the media to self clean and thus requires no maintenance. This allows the filter to reach optimum effectiveness without the disturbance of periodic cleaning, avoiding unnecessary loss of bacteria within the filter. 50 Litres of K1 media will handle up to 250 grams of food per day.

What is the Benefit of a Moving Bed? 

Moving bed media has many advantages over traditional static bed filters including a huge surface area which is always exposed to maximum oxygen and food for the bacteria, self cleaning media as it tumbles, and the world famous protected surface area, enabling bacteria and higher organisms to dwell in their preferred location inside the media, exposed to oxygen and food, but safe from harmful cleaning practices.

Formed in 2010 Queni Koi has grown into one of the largest Koi only retail outlets in the U.K. With over 60,000 gallons of water on-site, spread over 26 ponds our goal is to provide one of the biggest selections of koi anywhere to be seen while catering for every budget. From baby koi, up to show winning Koi.

We pride ourselves in the Koi we have for sale. Visiting Japan multiple times a year, we source Koi from trusted breeders based in Niigata, and from Western Japan. Koi undergo a strict bio-secure quarantine procedure including a minimum of two heat ramp cycles, along with any other necessary treatments to ensure the Koi you buy are fit and healthy.

Our extensive dry goods range is constantly being updated, often bringing new and exciting products to the UK. We are the exclusive UK agent for the FD Food Range and our very popular Drum Filtration range. Stocking brands such as JPD, Kusuri, EA, Colombo, Aquasource and more we only stock products we believe in.

Keeping stock of items important to us, we believe that if we sell a product, we should have it physically in stock. We do our utmost to keep as many products in stock as possible, ensuring timely deliveries to our customers.

QUENI KOI THEN AND NOW

Queni Koi was formed in 2010. Breeding Koi from high-quality Japanese Oyagoi for the UK trade market, during the early day's food was imported to rear fry and culminate Tosai ready for sale into the trade. We soon launched the Queni Koi Food range to compliment the current business. It soon became very popular so we developed and improved our infrastructure in order to provide customers with the service we wanted them to have.

During 2012 the breeding programme closed and a different approach was taken. To source high-quality Japanese Koi from Japan.

From 2012 to now Queni Koi has developed drastically. Developing relationships with breeders in the North of Japan and the South. We are forever increasing the quality and range of Japanese Koi we have for sale. Typically we have Koi ranging from £10.00 to over £10,000.00, we focus on catering for all hobbyists.

Travelling to Japan two to three times a year, we strictly only ever import Japanese Koi. Every Koi is hand-selected in Japan by us. All Koi undergo our strict quarantine procedure. We take this very seriously and quarantine for a minimum of 6 weeks to ensure our customers receive disease-free, healthy Koi. During this period, routine scrapes are taken, they undergo heat ramping, and necessary treatments are used.

Year on year we are developing and pushing Queni Koi to new heights. Our next step was to develop our product range other than Food, Treatments and Koi.

Late 2015 we signed a deal to become the sole agent for a range of Drum filters from a manufacturer in Holland. In partnership, to date (2022) there are over 400 units in operation in the U.K. and Ireland alone. Including Europe, there are nearly 2000 units in operation. Proving very popular, productivity and demand increased. We are proud to offer this filtration range to our customers and work closely with our partner in Holland, always looking at ways to develop products and increase the range.

Pushing Queni Koi forward to another level again we re-located to the nearby village of Wanlip. Opening a brand new facility in May 2017 we increased our water space from 12,000 gallons to 60,000 gallons spread across two sites. All of the new ponds run on our own filtration range consisting of Drums, Bio Chambers, Showers and Combi Drums. Once again we increased the numbers of Koi and inevitably increased our storage for stock.

In 2019 we built an additional polytunnel. This is used primarily for quarantining new Koi. This adds an extra 14,000 gallons of water space to our existing setup.

We already have exciting plans for 2022 so keep tuned!

Here at Queni Koi we pride ourselves on our prompt delivery service to get the products you need to you as soon as possible. We try to subsidise postage and packaging costs to keep prices to a minimum for our customers.

We use APC for all Koi deliveries and standard dry goods deliveries, due to them being one of only a few companies to be licensed to deliver live Fish. As they were the first to offer this service in the UK, they have many years of experience within the field.
