Aquario Neo Media

Aquario Neo Media – High-Performance Biological Filtration for Every Aquarium Type

Aquario Neo Media is engineered using advanced ceramic technology to achieve exceptional porosity, optimised water flow and long-term bacterial stability. Its internal micro-capillary network allows beneficial bacteria to grow rapidly, ensuring highly efficient ammonia and nitrite breakdown. With three variants—Pure, Soft and Hard—you can customise your filtration system to match your aquarium’s unique needs.

Neo Media Pure – Ultra-Clean & pH Neutral

Neo Media Pure is designed for aquariums requiring complete chemical neutrality. It does not affect pH, KH or GH, making it ideal for sensitive environments, especially shrimp tanks and Nature Aquarium setups. Pure offers extremely stable performance without altering water chemistry, while still delivering strong biological filtration.

• pH & KH neutral – perfect for shrimp & sensitive species
• Maintains stable water chemistry over long periods
• Designed for aquascapes with controlled nutrient environments
• High surface area for nitrifying & denitrifying bacteria

Neo Media Soft – Fastest Bacterial Colonisation

Neo Media Soft features a softer ceramic matrix with the highest porosity of the three types. This leads to rapid beneficial bacterial growth and strong ammonia/nitrite reduction, making it ideal for tanks needing aggressive biological filtration, such as planted CO₂ systems, shrimp tanks and nano aquariums.

• Highest porosity for maximum bacterial colonisation
• Fastest cycling speed among all Neo Media variants
• Lightweight & excellent water flow with minimal clogging
• Suitable for canister filters, HOBs & sumps

Neo Media Hard – Extreme Durability & Long-Term Stability

Neo Media Hard is built for long-term use in high-flow, high-bio-load aquariums. Its hardened ceramic matrix resists degradation and maintains structural integrity for years. Perfect for large tanks, monster fish systems, and environments with strong mechanical filtration.

• Hardest ceramic structure for maximum lifespan
• Ideal for high-flow systems, canisters & sumps
• Less brittle and more resistant to wear
• Strong biological filtration & stable water flow

Specifications

How to Use This Filter Media

1. Rinse lightly with aquarium water before use.
2. Place Neo Media inside the biological compartment of your filter.
3. Ensure ample water flow for optimal bacterial colonisation.
4. Allow 3–6 weeks for full bacterial development.
5. Replace only 30–50% at a time to preserve beneficial bacteria.

Care & Maintenance Tips

• Never wash with tap water—use tank water to avoid killing bacteria.
• Use mechanical pre-filtration to extend media life.
• Monitor parameters after large filter servicing.
• For shrimp tanks, choose Pure or Soft for best results.
• For large or predator tanks, Hard offers the best durability.
