Neo Soil by Aquario is a premium planted aquarium soil substrate that is made using volcanic soil and is optimized for lush aquatic plant growth. Easy for beginners and great for experienced hobbyists, Neo Soil contains specialized bacteria, activated by water contact, and eliminates pollutants that can potentially build up within substrates. This aquarium substrate also includes contained food for the beneficial bacteria to provide longevity and efficiency. Bottom activation helps aquatic plants absorb nutrition readily and results in lush growth without the excessive use of additional fertilizers. A unique feature from Neo Soil is its air pockets within the soil granules. The air holes inside enable beneficial bacteria to reproduce in bulk.
