Aquaforest AF 150 All-In Skim is an advanced 4-in-1 marine aquarium filtration system that combines a high-performance protein skimmer, air filter, CO₂ scrubber and biological filter in one compact unit. Designed for reef aquariums and marine systems where stable water quality, efficient waste removal and pH support are essential, this innovative skimmer system helps simplify filtration while saving valuable sump space.

Ideal for SPS, LPS, soft coral and mixed reef aquariums, the Aquaforest AF 150 All-In Skim removes organic waste before it breaks down, helps reduce carbon dioxide entering the aquarium air intake, supports biological filtration and helps control unwanted odours from the skimmer cup. With its integrated Reeflow 2300 pump, adjustable performance and complete included media set, it is a powerful all-in-one solution for serious reef keepers.

Product Overview

Aquaforest AF 150 All-In Skim has been developed for marine aquarists who want more than a standard protein skimmer. Instead of relying on separate equipment for skimming, CO₂ reduction, air filtration and biological filtration, the All-In Skim combines all four functions into one integrated system.

The central protein skimmer produces dense foam to remove dissolved and suspended organic waste, including proteins, food residues and fish waste, before these compounds decompose and contribute to nitrate and phosphate build-up. This helps improve water clarity, supports nutrient control and creates a cleaner environment for corals, fish and other marine livestock.

Benefits for Marine Aquariums

Aquaforest AF 150 All-In Skim helps support healthier reef aquarium conditions by combining several important filtration methods in one unit. The protein skimmer removes organic waste, the CO₂ scrubber helps reduce carbon dioxide entering the aquarium, the air filter helps improve air quality, and the biological chamber provides additional space for nitrifying bacteria.

This combination is especially useful in modern reef aquariums where pH stability, nutrient control and efficient filtration are important for coral health. By helping reduce CO₂, the All-In Skim can support a more stable pH environment, which may benefit coral growth, calcification and general reef stability when used as part of a well-maintained system.

Suitable For

Aquaforest AF 150 All-In Skim is suitable for:

Marine aquariums
Reef aquariums
SPS coral systems
LPS coral systems
Mixed reef aquariums
Soft coral aquariums
Marine fish systems with sump filtration
Aquariums where pH stability needs support
Reef tanks requiring efficient organic waste removal
Aquarists wanting an all-in-one filtration and skimming solution

This product is designed for marine aquarium use and is intended for sump installation where the correct water level can be maintained.

Filtration Functions

Aquaforest AF 150 All-In Skim combines four key filtration functions in one compact system:

Protein Skimmer – removes organic waste before it breaks down into nitrate and phosphate
CO₂ Scrubber – helps reduce carbon dioxide in the air supplied to the skimmer, supporting pH stability
Air Filter – helps protect the skimmer intake from airborne impurities and improves air quality
Biological Filter – provides additional space for beneficial bacteria and biological media

Together, these functions help improve aquarium stability, water quality, odour control and long-term reef health.

How to Use

Install Aquaforest AF 150 All-In Skim in the aquarium sump according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Place the unit in a stable sump compartment with the correct water level. Aquaforest lists the recommended water level as 185mm, with a minimum of 160mm and maximum of 210mm. Connect the Reeflow 2300 pump, hoses and included filtration media as directed, then adjust the pump and skimmer settings gradually until stable foam production is achieved.

Allow time for the skimmer to break in after installation. During this period, foam production may vary while the skimmer body, air intake and media settle into normal operation.

Usage Advice

For best results, maintain a consistent sump water level, as protein skimmer performance can be affected by water height changes. Use an auto top-up system where possible to help keep the water level stable.

Clean the skimmer cup regularly to maintain efficient waste removal and reduce odour build-up. Replace CO₂ scrubber media, carbon and biological media according to performance, aquarium demand and manufacturer guidance. Monitor pH, nitrate and phosphate regularly to understand how the system is performing within your aquarium.

Avoid making rapid adjustments to pump speed or air intake. Fine tuning over several days usually produces more stable skimmer performance.

When to Use

Aquaforest AF 150 All-In Skim is useful when:

Setting up a new marine reef aquarium with sump filtration
Upgrading from a standard protein skimmer
Improving organic waste removal in a reef system
Supporting pH stability through CO₂ reduction
Reducing skimmer cup odours in the aquarium cabinet
Saving sump space by combining multiple filtration functions
Running SPS, LPS or mixed reef aquariums
Improving overall water clarity and nutrient control

Technical Specifications

Aquarium Capacity

Recommended aquarium capacity depends on livestock level and bioload:

Heavy bioload: up to 300 litres
Medium bioload: up to 500 litres
Light bioload: up to 750 litres

For reef aquariums with heavy feeding, dense fish stocking or demanding SPS corals, it is always best to choose capacity based on realistic bioload rather than maximum tank volume.

What’s Included

Aquaforest AF 150 All-In Skim includes:

All-In Skim filtration system
Reeflow 2300 pump with controller
Set of flexible silicone hoses
5 filter sponges
Scrubber Media 800ml
Carbon 400ml
Life Bio Fil 400ml

Maintenance Advice

Regular maintenance is important for consistent skimmer performance. Empty and clean the collection cup frequently, check the air intake for blockages and inspect the pump for debris or calcium build-up.

CO₂ scrubber media should be replaced when exhausted, carbon should be changed as required, and biological media should be handled carefully to preserve beneficial bacteria. Do not rinse biological media under untreated tap water, as this may damage bacterial colonies.
