NEO MEDIA SOFT S is a ceramic-type biological filter media for aquarists whose water pH is too high. According to the supplier, it lowers pH and keeps it at a stable level of about 6-7, which makes it suitable for planted, shrimp, Malawi, Tanganyika and SPS marine setups.
Why it matters
- The supplier states that it lowers pH and keeps it stable at about 6-7, whereas other ceramic media is described as raising pH and hardening the water.
- Pores of varying sizes are said to let different groups of nitrifying bacteria settle and develop, which the supplier identifies as the key factor in biological filtration.
- The supplier gives a specific surface area of 3600 m2/l, and states that the product was tested by the independent laboratory Quantachrome.
- The supplier states that one litre of this media replaces ten litres of standard media.
