Aquario NEO soil for plants is a premium aquarium substrate that is made from volcanic soil and meant to optimize the growth of aquatic plants. Great for beginners and experienced hobbyists, Aquario NEO soil consists of 2 layers and contains many little air pockets inside allowing it to be used as another form of filtration and a base for the growth of beneficial bacteria. All of these benefits combined results in beautiful aquatic plant growth and a stable aquarium cycle along with overall product longevity. Aquario NEO Soil helps to eliminate pollutants within the water column and the activation of the bottom helps aquatic plants absorb nutrients easily so fertilizers can be used sparingly. 

Additional notes:

  • This product contains bacteria and may appear as a white substance within the package. This is normal.
  • The use of CO2 injection, lighting, and fertilizer is recommended.
  • 1/3 water change per every 3 days after setup. 1/3 water change per week afterward.
  • Do not mix with other aquarium soils. If done, increase water changes to help prevent algae growth. 
  • Results will depend on each individual user.

    Very light

    "This soil looks great and the bag held plenty but planting in it is difficult because it is so light. Even if you dig a plant far into the soil, it may still float up unless weighed down by a rock."

    Q&A

    would this product be practical for commercial use for growing submerged aquatic vegetative plants like vallsenaria, potamogetons, elodeas ect.? I currently grow my plants in tanks in just sand as the substrate but am looking to add nutrients to promote root growth.
    Hi Meg, thank you for your question. The Aquario Neo Plant Soil is designed as a substrate specifically formulated for planted aquariums. It contains essential nutrients that can benefit aquatic plants, promoting their growth and development. If you are looking to transition from a sand substrate to a substrate with added nutrients for growing submerged aquatic plants, the Aquario Neo Plant Soil is a suitable option and will be beneficial for plants like Vallisneria, Potamogeton, and Elodea. We hope this information helps! If there is anything else we can assist you with, please email us at support@buceplant.com. Thank you, Team Buce Plant
    Would you recommend this substrate for a beginner tank with amazon sword, monte carlo, dwarf sag, and ludwigia repens? How many liters of this substrate do I need for a 29 gallon tank? Its a 30in by 12.5in base. Can I apply a thin layer of gravel over top of it as well? Thank you
    Hi Jeff, thank you for your interest. Yes, this soil will be great for your beginner tank! Regarding how many liters is needed. Please feel free to use our convenient substrate calculator: Length x Width x Desired Substrate Height (in inches) Divided by 60 = Liters of substrate needed You may also add a thin layer of gravel on top of the soil. However, make sure the plants are planted deeply in soil for further nutrients. If there is anything else we can assist you, please contact us at support@buceplant.com! Thank you, Team Buce Plant
    Is this a bottom substrate, or can I use this only? Also, will this lower the pH of my aquarium water?
    Hi Luis Thank you for reaching out! The Aquario NEO Plant soil should be used by itself and not capped with another substrate. This soil will slightly lower the pH of the water, making an ideal environment for plant growth. Let us know if you have any additional questions or concerns. We are always happy to help!

    What's the difference between the neo shrimp soil vs. the plant soil?
    Hi Michael, Thank you for reaching out, we are happy to help. NEO shrimp soil is specially designed to create the ideal environment for shrimp health. NEO Shrimp soil releases minimal ammonia, creating a more stable aquarium for sensitive shrimp. Best Regards, Buceplant Team
    This soil make my water gh go up. Water was gh 5 before i puted in the tank and now is 14, is this normal with this soil? thanks
    Hi, Aquario NEO soil should not be increasing your gh from 5 to 14. Is there anything else you have added to the tank to cause this spike?
