Frequently Asked Questions
1. Which aquariums benefit most from Aquario Neo Media Soft?
Neo Media Soft is ideal for planted aquascapes, dwarf shrimp tanks (such as Crystal Red Shrimp), and South American species like Tetras, Discus, and Angelfish, all of which thrive in slightly acidic water conditions.
2. How does Neo Media Soft differ from the Neo Media Soft Quad shape?
Both feature the exact same pH-lowering acidic chemistry, but this standard model comes in classic cylindrical rings, whereas the Quad variant features a plus-sign (+) cross-section for extra outer surface area and multi-directional water channels.
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.
