I sort of agree with androal. Static K is magic (bless you Maurice) and definitely belongs in the first chamber. If price was not an issue, I would put moving Kaldness in both 2 and 3. Aerated K is easier to maintain than the mat.

I make static K baskets with heavy duty 1-inch plastic mesh and stainless 'C' ring staples. Inside that is a basket liner of 1/8-inch plastic mesh. A piece of 2 or 3-inch PVC with slots cut on a chop saw is mounted in the center of the basket and connects to the tank outlet. A washer tub would look much better, but the plastic mesh basket can be made to fit the tank with minimal wasted space between the basket and tank wall.
