The Aquaforest AF Air Scrubber is a specialized reactor designed to combat low and fluctuating pH levels in saltwater reef aquariums. By actively removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air drawn into your protein skimmer, this device directly raises and stabilizes your tank's pH. This process prevents harmful swings that can stress corals and inhibit their growth, leading to a healthier and more stable marine environment.
Constructed from high-quality white and transparent acrylic, the reactor features a unique design to maximize efficiency and media lifespan. Its base contains three cut-to-size sponges, which are soaked in RO water to moisten the incoming air, significantly improving the CO2 absorbing media's performance. Air is channeled upwards through a grid for maximum contact time, while a smart-twist lid allows for quick and easy media replacement. The unit is engineered to be compatible with a wide variety of protein skimmers, making it a versatile addition to most reef systems.
This product is ideal for reef aquarists who struggle with persistently low pH, often caused by high ambient CO2 levels within the home. It is particularly beneficial for those with densely stocked SPS coral tanks where stable water chemistry is critical for growth and coloration. By addressing the atmospheric cause of low pH, the AF Air Scrubber provides a reliable, long-term solution that reduces the need for constant chemical buffering and promotes a more robust and vibrant reef ecosystem.

this is the best air scrubber out there. it has sponges that allow you to separate your media and carbon if you run both. the best part is the bottom section that allows you to have moist air in to help preserve your media longer and the quality is great. most other companies have a very narrow opening and you usually have to diy a area for moisture. you also dont make a mess trying to fill this one with its wide opening
