I just typed for about twenty minutes and then lost it all. Happens a lot to me. Others?

So, short version.

If you are only pumping 2000gph like the design limit then it just won't matter a lot what order. If you are pumping more then you could throw the springflow (3,4, 5 cubes of it) into #1 to help mechanically.

Try R-Matala green and blue, course and medium, my green never clogs at all and I wish for blue. Don't fill up the whole depth, just use one or two or maybe three. Work up.

Look for Maurice's site where with a little diggin you can find pics of how to convert a chamber for K1 as well as how to make an air ring. I skip air stones and I keep air in the filters, not the pond.

You could run from 3 - 7 and maybe 10 cu. ft. K1 in your chamber. Work up. I use a Sweetwater 44, the same as a Medo ??.

You in California? Your profile contains ZERO. But it really costs to ship spirexes so I'm guessing California.
