Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does Neo Media Pure differ from the Neo Media Pure Quad shape? Both feature the exact same pH-neutral formula, but this standard model comes in classic balls, whereas the Quad variant features a plus-sign (+) cross-section designed to provide additional surface area and multi-directional water channels.
2. Will Aquario Neo Media Pure alter my aquarium's pH over time? No, the Pure formula is entirely pH-neutral. It will not raise or lower your pH, allowing your substrate, hardscape, or water source to determine your exact water chemistry naturally.
3. How should I prepare and clean Aquario Neo Media during routine maintenance? Rinse the media gently under clean water 2 to 3 times prior to first use. During routine maintenance every 3 to 6 months, swish the media in a bucket of drained aquarium water to clear accumulated detritus without harming beneficial bacterial colonies.

Generous portion for price
"First time buying this media, and was surprised at how much came in the box. I couldn't use all of it because there was so much, which wasn't a bad problem to have. It was also easy to use - just rinse gently and add to the filter."
— Brooke I. (5/5)
"It works as advertised, I wish there was smaller amounts available for purchase as I have a smaller filter, but that’s of no fault of the product."

"Fast shipping,BP is my first choice for aquatic plants and gear.Neo Media looking good."
— Ivan L. (5/5)
Didn't really anything for high GH
"I figured since it claims to be somewhat acidic it would buffer the parameters lower so I could keep certain fish but it more or less stayed the same. Other than using ro or distilled water, or using chemicals, it's more difficult to soften water than it is to harden it."
— Andrew (3/5)
Great media.
"This is great media for your filter. I really like the shape and all the different sizes pores in it. It is nice they add a small packet of bacteria to add to it to jump start your system. Fairly light as well. Just don’t rinse to much or it clouds the water."

What.....?
"So if I have 8.2ph aquarium water(not from my tap) & I use pure will it bring it down to 7.0ph...? And the same goes for hard & soft ...if I have 8.2ph aquarium water, what will each one of these media eventually do to my 8.2ph? You definitely need more of an explanation on what each media will do, not just say its acidic, alkaline & natural!!!"
