Aquario Neo Media - Soft - Quad

Product Overview

Aquario Neo Media Soft Quad is a high-performance biological filter media manufactured in South Korea from natural mineral materials fired at high temperatures. Featuring a unique plus-shaped (+ Quad) cross-section, Neo Media Soft Quad increases available surface area for beneficial bacterial strains while naturally lowering pH levels. It ensures optimal flow dynamics and long-lasting biological stability for planted tanks, Caridina shrimp, and South American fish species.

Key Features & Benefits

• Slightly Acidic pH Target (SOFT): Helps lower and stabilize pH levels, creating the ideal water chemistry for planted aquascapes and soft-water livestock.
• Plus-Shaped (+ Quad) Geometry: Increases outer surface area and creates varied internal flow channels to maximize biological contact and prevent filter media clogging.
• Multi-Pore Microstructure: Features diverse pore sizes to support diverse strains of nitrifying bacteria, ensuring a resilient and complete nitrogen cycle.
• 5-Step High-Temperature Manufacturing: Fired at extreme temperatures using natural Korean minerals to guarantee structural durability without crumbling.
• Ideal for Delicate Livestock: Formulated specifically to support aquatic plants, dwarf shrimp (such as Crystal Red Shrimp), and South American species like Tetras, Discus, and Angelfish.

Technical Specifications

Precaution: Rinse gently with running water 2–3 times prior to installation. Avoid aggressive washing to prevent excessive mineral dust. Keep out of reach of children and pets.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why should I choose the Quad shape over standard round filter rings?
The Quad (+ cross) shape provides significantly more surface area than traditional smooth cylinder rings. Its structural geometry creates multi-directional water friction, ensuring water passes evenly through the media basket with minimal channel bypass.

2. How does Neo Media Soft affect aquarium pH?
Neo Media Soft naturally imparts a mild acidic effect to the water column. While tank objects (like hardscape rocks and substrate) and source water parameters also play a role, it actively helps prevent pH spikes in soft-water setups.

3. How often should I clean or replace Aquario Neo Media?
Rinse the media gently in a bucket of drained aquarium water every 3 to 6 months during routine filter maintenance. Because of its durable, high-temperature manufacturing, it does not need frequent replacement and can last for years.
