PH Stabilization and CO2 Reduction for Reef Aquarium
Aquaforest AF Air Scrubber is an air purification reactor designed to reduce the CO2 aspirated by theskimmer, stabilize the pH and promote optimal coral calcification. An effective and sustainable solution to maintain a stable reef ecosystem, particularly in low-ventilated indoor environment.

The reef aquariums are complex and sensitive ecosystems that require optimal chemical stability to prosper. One of the often underestimated factors is the concentration of Carbon dioxide (CO2) present in the ambient air, especially in the modern, unremitted modern homes.
TheAquaforest AF Air Scrubber has been specially developed to solve this problem by effectively eliminating the CO2 from the air sucked by theskimmer protein. By reducing acidification of water, it allows to maintain a pH higher, more stable and avoiding fluctuations of harmful DKH to coral growth.
Why is CO2 a problem in reef?
Human respiration, pets and daily activities (kitchen, heating) strongly increase inner CO2. This CO2 is sucked up by the skimmer, dissolves in the water and causes a decrease of the pH. In the long run, this can lead to:
- Calcification of corals strongly slowed down
- Chronic stress of reef bodies
- PH Instability Day / Night
This phenomenon is particularly marked in autumn and winter, when the windows remain closed. AF Air Scrubber then becomes a key equipment to maintain a healthy environment.
Advanced design and maximum efficiency
The reactor AF Air Scrubber is made of high quality white and transparent acrylic, combining robustness, modern aesthetics and functionality. It can be installed as well outside and inside the furniture ofAquarium.
Its innovative design forces air to circulate from bottom to top through several layers of CO2 sponges and media, ensuring maximum removal before entering the skimmer or aquarium.
Integrated humidification system
The base of the reactor contains Three moisturizable sponges, designed to be soaked in osmosis water. This humidification significantly improves the performance of the media and extends its life.
Laboratory tests show that this system allows longer use of the media, making the AF Air Scrubber particularly profitable over the long term.

Observed results
According to the tests Aquaforest, the use of AF Air Scrubber allows increased pH of 0.2 to 0.4, with stabilization in the ideal beach of 8.0 to 8.4. The first effects are generally visible after a few days of use.
Important information
- The reactor is Sold without media absorbing CO2
- Preferably use Aquaforest AF Air Scrubber Media
- Replace the media before changing color is complete
- Wear gloves and replace in a ventilated space
- PH measurements must always be done at the same time of the day
For even more versatility, it is possible to use AF Air Scrubber Media with Carbon inside the reactor.
FAQ - Aquaforest AF Air Scrubber
What is the AF Air Scrubber Aquaforest ?
AF Air Scrubber reduces the CO₂ concentration in the air aspirated by the skimmer, which helps to increase and stabilize the pH of thereef aquarium.
Why does CO₂ influence the pH of the reef aquarium?
An excess CO₂ in the air sucked by the skimmer causes water acidification, causing a decrease of the pH, a KH instability and a reduced calcification of corals.
In which cases is the use of an aircriber air particularly recommended?
The use is highly recommended in autumn and winter, when the parts are less ventilated and the internal CO₂ rate is higher.
What increase of pH can we hope with AF Air Scrubber?
According to the tests AquaforestThe pH can increase by about 0.2 to 0.4, with stabilization in an optimal range of between 8.0 and 8.4.
Does the AF Air Scrubber stabilize the pH day and night?
Yes, it helps to limit the natural variations day / night of the pH by reducing the contribution of CO₂, especially at night when the photosynthesis stops.
How does the AF Air Scrubber reactor work?
CO₂-rich air is sucked by the bottom of the reactor, moistened by sponges soaked with osmosis water, then filtered through an absorbent media before being sent to the skimmer.
Why should sponges remain wet?
Air humidification improves the effectiveness of the absorbing media and greatly prolongs its service life.
How to know when replacing the absorbent media?
The media changes gradually from the bottom of the bottom up. It is advisable to replace it before changing color is total.
Is the filter comes with CO₂ absorbent media?
No, the reactor is sold without absorbent cartridge. The media Aquaforest AF Air Scrubber Media is to be ordered separately.
With which skimmers is AF Air Scrubber compatible?
It is compatible with the majority of skimmers equipped with an air suction pipe of 10 mm.
Can we place the AF Air Scrubber outside the furniture?
Yes, its modern white and transparent acrylic design allows an installation as well inside and outside the aquarium cabinet.
What precautions should we take when replacing the media?
It is recommended to wear gloves and perform the operation in a well-ventilated area.
