Each media is pre-portioned in an aquarium-safe filter bag for convenient placement inside canister filters, hang-on-back (HOB) filters, or other high-flow filtration systems. Choose the formula that best fits your aquarium and goals.

Best For
- Freshwater planted aquariums
- Targeted water quality management
- Canister and hang-on-back (HOB) filtration systems

Size: 12 × 8 cm (each filter bag)

Contents: 8 filter bags per package

Instructions for Use: Rinse the filter bag in clean water before use. Place 1 bag per 60 L (approximately 16 gallons) of aquarium water flat in an area of strong water flow, such as a canister filter or hang-on-back (HOB) filter. For faster results, an additional bag may be used.

Important Note: Neo Bag performs best when placed in an area of strong water flow. Some temporary discoloration may occur during initial use and is normal. Neo Bag Minus and Neo Bag Zeolite can be regenerated for repeated use; refer to the comparison guide and included instructions for proper regeneration procedures. Filter media will gradually become depleted over time and should be replaced as needed. Intended for aquarium use only. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
