Find a productProduct description
This is the MINI version of the SOFT ceramic media for aquarists whose filter has little room for filter media but whose water pH runs too high. According to the manufacturer, it is intended for planted, shrimp, Malawi, Tanganyika and reef tanks with SPS corals, where lowering pH is the goal.
Why it matters
- The manufacturer states that the SOFT variant lowers pH and holds it at around 6 to 7, rather than only softening the water.
- The media is made from fibres with varied pore sizes, which the manufacturer says allows different groups of bacteria to settle and develop. Biological filtration depends on that internal ecosystem.
- The package includes nitrifying bacteria to speed up biological activity from the start.
- The manufacturer gives a surface area of 4000 m2/l, tested by the Quantachrome laboratory. The 5 L size is described as equal to 50 L of another NEO MEDIA product.
