Maintain a thriving reef aquarium with the Aquaforest AF Air Scrubber, a professional-grade aquarium air scrubber engineered to raise aquarium pH, prevent pH swings, and promote robust coral health. Designed as a reliable CO2 removal reactor, this essential piece of coral health aquarium equipment removes excess carbon dioxide from the air entering your protein skimmer, creating an optimal environment for sensitive marine life.
Unstable pH is a common challenge in reef tanks, often caused by elevated CO2 levels in indoor environments. The Aquaforest AF Air Scrubber acts as a reef aquarium pH stabilizer, efficiently filtering CO2 before it enters your protein skimmer. This process:
Constructed from premium white and transparent acrylic, the Aquaforest AF Air Scrubber offers durability and easy visual inspection of the CO2 absorbing media. Its advanced design features:
Monitor your media with ease: the color-changing CO2 absorbing media makes it easy to see when it’s time to replace, ensuring consistent performance and reliable pH control.
Unlike typical reef tank CO2 scrubber solutions, the Aquaforest AF Air Scrubber delivers lab-tested and aquarist-approved results, raising and stabilizing pH by 0.2–0.4 points. When paired with the Aquaforest AF Air Scrubber Media Cartridge (sold separately), it provides efficient, long-term CO2 removal for healthier, more resilient corals and reef systems.
This coral health aquarium equipment is designed for both beginners and advanced hobbyists. Its compact design fits a variety of sump layouts, while the included hose connector ensures easy attachment to most protein skimmers. The robust acrylic body stands up to regular maintenance, making the AF Air Scrubber perfect for continuous, reliable operation.
Note: The CO2 absorbing media cartridge is not included and must be purchased separately for optimal performance.
A: By acting as a CO2 removal reactor, the AF Air Scrubber filters carbon dioxide from the air entering your protein skimmer. This reduces CO2 levels in your reef tank, helping to raise aquarium pH and prevent dangerous pH swings, creating a healthier environment for corals and fish.
A: The Aquaforest AF Air Scrubber is ideal for saltwater and reef aquariums, especially systems with high coral density, heavy bioloads, or those experiencing unstable pH due to elevated indoor CO2.
A: Replace the CO2 absorbing media when the color indicator has mostly changed from bottom to top. Frequency varies based on tank size, bioload, and ambient CO2, but typically ranges from every few weeks to a month.
A: Yes, the scrubber is designed for straightforward assembly and quick integration with most protein skimmer air filter systems using the included hose connector. Follow the step-by-step instructions for a fast setup.
