Neo Media Soft S 1l - ceramic cartridge lowers pH

- the most porous insert
- lowers water pH
- the most nitrifying bacteria
- small sizes
- 1 liter of this insert = 10 liters of another

The manufacturer of inserts NEO MEDIA has made every effort to create the best biological insert in the world. This status is determined not only by its remarkable and diverse porosity but also by its resistance to prolonged use and, what is often overlooked, the impact of the inserts on the water's pH.


Ceramic inserts change the pH of water! Did you know that?
pH tests of water show that popular ceramic and ceramic-like inserts on the market have alkaline values, meaning they change the pH value, significantly hardening the water. (SIPORAX 9~10, Substrate PRO 8~9).

NEO MEDIA SOFT is a filtering material that lowers pH values. It is suitable for all aquariums where the water pH is too high, such as: planted tanks, shrimp tanks, Malawi, Tanganyika, marine tanks with SPS corals. The NEO MEDIA SOFT insert lowers and maintains pH values at a steady level of 6~7. Additionally, the NEO MEDIA inserts are available in three variants: PURE, SOFT, and HARD, which respectively: do not change pH, soften water, and harden water.

Diverse porosity:
The production process along with the fiber structure has allowed for the creation of an insert that possesses various pore sizes, enabling the settlement and rapid development of different types of bacteria responsible for the transformation of harmful substances. The appropriate ecosystem developed within the insert is a decisive factor in biological filtration.
Diverse porosity is not available in ceramic inserts created through baking, where the pores in such inserts always have the same size.

Largest surface area:
Advanced production techniques along with fiber structure have achieved record porosity, which greatly exceeds the porosity of the best-known ceramics to date. (SIPORAX 270m2/l, Substrate PRO 450m2/l, Matrix 700m2/l)
NEO MEDIA offers as much as 3600m2/l. Such a surface area along with varying pore sizes guarantees the best biological filtration.
The final phase of production ensures the product's durability over a long period, completing the most important advantages of the best biological insert in the world.

The excellent quality of the product is confirmed by research from the American research institute Quantachrome:
The inserts NEO MEDIA were tested by the Quantachrome Corporation laboratory using Quantachrome Instruments. All product data is provided based on the opinion issued by an independent group of researchers from Quantachrome.
