Hi friends hope everyone is doing well & the fish are fine.
This is my setup with the moving bed filter to try out!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

First advice would be to keep the chamber as clear as possible and use air to circulate the K1. Nothing seems to fluidise it as well as a good rising air stream that moves the K1 away from the water exit.

This is my K1 chamber. Water enters rear right and leaves over the weir comb to the left. There is a bubble wall on the left hand side which keeps the K1 moving nicely.
