Description
​ Efficient mechanical filtration combined with the convenience of using ready-made filter media cartridges? This is possible in the new Neo 300 filter from Aquael. In one product we have combined these possibilities.
Don’t want to spend a lot of time handling and cleaning it? You’ve come to the perfect place! The Neo 300 filter will perfectly clean the aquarium water from unwanted impurities. At the same time, it will require a minimum of involvement on the part of the aquarist, while allowing you to use the filter in many different ways.
Water purification in the Neo 300 filter is done by trapping particles of impurities on the filter mat. The capacity of the maximum open filter is 320 l/h, which allows to effectively purify water in an aquarium up to 100 l in volume.

Neo 300 filter capacity adjustment
You can easily adjust the flow rate of water through the Neo 300 Filter. The filter is equipped with a capacity regulator, which will allow you to adjust the strength of the flow to your needs. This model will also be perfect for smaller tanks and nano aquariums. In addition, the filter is equipped with an aeration tube. It ensures adequate oxygenation of the water in the tank. The aeration tube works with a directional nozzle, connected to the outlet of the filter.
​
Directional nozzles Neo 300
An interesting solution is the use of two interchangeable directional nozzles in the set. The first is a classic jet nozzle, to which an aeration hose is attached. The flow of the nozzle can be adjusted by turning it in any direction.
In addition, the set includes a nozzle from which water flows out in a semicircle. The outflow of water in a range of 180 degrees also sets it into a gentle rippling motion. A gentle current is created in the water. Such a solution also gives a better opportunity to oxygenate the water.
​
The filter uses a useful mounting solution. The rack attaches with 4 suction cups. Meanwhile, the basket with the filter module smoothly slides out when pressed. This makes it very easy to service the filter – the motor stays in the water all the time, while the filter element can be removed and cleaned or replaced.
The design of the Neo 300 filter also allows it to be installed at an angle or even horizontally. If the arrangement inside your tank requires it, use such an option to make the most efficient use of space. The filter housing is only 5.5 cm. Its flat shape makes it easy to blend it behind plants or fixtures to make it as unobtrusive as possible.
​Neo 300 filter cartridges
Do you like the convenience of prepared sachets for water filtration media? This is a very functional solution, perfect for those who want to use ready-made cardridges.
Three types of filter cartridges from Aquael’s range are dedicated to the Neo 300 filter:
- Standard Wool – replaceable cartridge made of thick filter wadding, which provides efficient mechanical filtration of water
- CarboMAX – cartridge made of filter wadding with activated carbon; in addition to mechanical filtration, it additionally eliminates chemical impurities and discoloration from water
- PhosMAX – in addition to filter wadding, it additionally contains a phosphate eliminator, which protects the aquarium from algae infestation
​
The filter holds 1 sachet. The cartridge should be replaced regularly to ensure proper water filtration conditions. We recommend replacing it no less often than every 2-4 weeks – detailed information can be found on the package. The starter kit includes a Carbomax cartridge.
Aquael advice
We recommend that when replacing cartridges, you add live bacteria cultures to the water, such as Hydro Bioguard from Aquael.
Still worried that you will remove beneficial nitrifying bacteria along with the sachet? Try putting two sachets – a new one and an old one – in the filter basket. After a few days, the bacteria will have time to populate the new cartridge, and you will be able to discard the used media in peace.
Protection of shrimps and fry
The safety of aquarium inhabitants is our priority. Therefore, we are keen to ensure that the internal filters are properly protected from getting behind the housing of small fish or shrimps, which, due to their small size, are most vulnerable to this. Therefore, we recommend placing a thin layer of sponge on the front of the filter. It provides an additional barrier to protect small animals, and also provides a place for the development of beneficial nitrifying bacteria. Suitably cut sponge is included in the set. Be sure not to throw it away when replacing sachets of ready-made cartridges, but only rinse it in aquarium water.
