Aquario NEO Media Soft
Neo Media Soft by Aquario is a high quality filter medium for biological filtration in aquariums. Conventional filter balls have an average surface area of approx. 500 m²/l and filter rings even only 270 m²/l. The innovative texture, which is characterised by the fractional cylindric shape, offers a highly structured surface with an exceptional 3.200 m²/l and pores of varying sizes between 1.000 µm ~ 2 µm. The larger pores of up to 1.000 µm allow a very good water flow through the filter medium into the deepest interior. Therefore, it offers nitrifying bacteria (size 1 ~ 1,5 µm) an optimum supply of oxygen in addition to the particularly large colonisation surface.
These bacteria are very important for water quality, as they effectively remove ammonium and nitrite. The various pore sizes allow the possibility for a considerable number of other bacteria and other microbes to coexist safely.
During the development of the Neo Media , special attention was paid to creating a new type of continuous pore structure. Part of the 5-step manufacturing process is finishing at high temperatures, which ensures good strength. In addition, the pores are kept at this temperature level for a very long time in order to unify their quality.
This filter medium is slightly acidic and, thus, lowers the pH value. Therfore, it creates great conditions for South American fish, shrimp and plants.
Aquario Neo Media Soft is delivered with separately packed bacteria that are activated as soon as they get in contact with water and, then, immediately start transforming ammonium and nitrite.

Features
- Excellent filter medium for aquaria with South American fish, shrimps and plants
- Very large pore surface of 3.200 m²/l
- Exceptional structure with different pore sizes from 1.000 µm ~ 2 µm
- Provides perfect living conditions for a variety of bacteria and other microbes
- Lowers the pH value
- Includes important bacteria
Enclosed dormant bacteria (comes with SOFT & HARD products)
The Neo Media SOFT&HARD contains dormant bacteria.
Dormant bacteria start activity immediately upon contact with water, shortening the nitrification cycle completion time.
Please do not wash it, please put it between the filter media.
Usage
Briefly rinse the media before inserting it in the filter as well as every three months while in use. The bacteria themselves are added without treatment directly to the washed medium before it is placed in the filter. The medium should be replaced after about 2 years of use. Keep out of the reach of children.
