Aquaforest AF Air Scrubber
Aquaforest AF Air Scrubber is a high-quality marine aquarium CO₂ scrubber reactor designed to help raise and stabilise pH in reef aquariums. Connected directly to a compatible protein skimmer air intake, the AF Air Scrubber reduces the amount of carbon dioxide entering the aquarium system, helping support more stable day and night pH levels, improved reef stability and better conditions for coral growth.
Ideal for reef aquariums, SPS systems, LPS systems and mixed marine aquariums, Aquaforest AF Air Scrubber is especially useful in homes where indoor CO₂ levels are high, ventilation is limited or aquarium pH regularly drops below the desired range. With a large 2.3 litre capacity, durable construction and compatibility with skimmers using a 10mm / ⅜ inch air hose, it is a practical solution for marine aquarists looking to improve pH stability through effective CO₂ reduction.
Key Features
- Marine aquarium CO₂ scrubber reactor for reef aquariums
- Helps reduce CO₂ entering the protein skimmer air intake
- Supports higher and more stable aquarium pH
- Helps reduce day and night pH fluctuations
- Can help prevent sudden dKH changes linked to low pH instability
- Large 2.3 litre reactor capacity
- Compatible with a wide range of protein skimmers using 10mm / ⅜ inch hose
- Designed to improve CO₂ absorbing media lifespan and efficiency
- Easy to install, use and maintain
- Suitable for reef aquariums, SPS systems, LPS systems and mixed marine tanks
Product Overview
Aquaforest AF Air Scrubber has been developed for marine aquarists who want to improve pH stability by reducing the amount of carbon dioxide drawn into the aquarium through the protein skimmer. In many homes, indoor air contains elevated CO₂ from breathing, pets, cooking, closed windows and poor ventilation. When this CO₂-rich air is pulled into the skimmer, it can lower aquarium pH and contribute to daily pH swings.
The AF Air Scrubber connects between the skimmer air intake and CO₂ absorbing media. As air passes through the scrubber, carbon dioxide is reduced before the air reaches the skimmer. This can help the aquarium maintain a higher and more stable pH, which is especially important in reef systems where coral calcification, alkalinity stability and overall growth are closely linked to stable water chemistry.
Benefits for Reef Aquariums
Aquaforest AF Air Scrubber helps support a more stable reef aquarium by reducing CO₂ intake and helping maintain stronger pH levels. Stable pH is important for coral health, calcification, skeletal growth and general reef balance, particularly in aquariums containing SPS corals, LPS corals, clams and coralline algae.
Low or unstable pH can make it more difficult for corals to calcify efficiently and may contribute to swings in carbonate hardness. By reducing the CO₂ entering the skimmer, the AF Air Scrubber can help create a more consistent environment and support better long-term reef stability when used alongside good husbandry, regular testing and balanced dosing.
Suitable For
Aquaforest AF Air Scrubber is suitable for:
- Marine aquariums
- Reef aquariums
- SPS coral systems
- LPS coral systems
- Mixed reef aquariums
- Soft coral aquariums
- Marine systems using protein skimmers
- Aquariums affected by low pH
- Homes with high indoor CO₂ levels
- Reef keepers wanting improved pH stability
This product is designed for marine aquarium use and should be connected to a compatible protein skimmer air intake.
How to Use
Fill the Aquaforest AF Air Scrubber with suitable CO₂ absorbing media, such as Aquaforest AF Air Scrubber Media, then connect the scrubber to the protein skimmer air intake using compatible hose.
Place the reactor securely in or near the aquarium cabinet where it can remain upright and accessible for maintenance. Ensure the hose is firmly connected, with no kinks, leaks or restrictions that could reduce skimmer air draw. Once connected, the skimmer will pull air through the scrubber before it enters the skimmer body.
Monitor aquarium pH after installation to understand the effect in your specific system. Results can vary depending on room CO₂ levels, skimmer air draw, media condition, aquarium size and overall gas exchange.
Usage Advice
For best results, use Aquaforest AF Air Scrubber with the correct CO₂ absorbing media and replace the media before it becomes fully exhausted. Used-up media may change colour again if left too long, but this does not mean it has become effective again.
Check hose connections regularly and make sure the skimmer continues to receive adequate air flow. If skimmer performance changes after installation, inspect the hose, scrubber media and air intake for restrictions or blockages.
The AF Air Scrubber can be especially useful during autumn and winter, when windows are often closed and indoor CO₂ levels may rise. Regular pH testing or pH monitoring is recommended to track performance and media exhaustion.
When to Use
Aquaforest AF Air Scrubber is useful when:
- Reef aquarium pH is consistently lower than desired
- pH drops noticeably overnight
- Indoor CO₂ levels are high due to poor ventilation
- The aquarium is located in a closed room or modern insulated home
- SPS or LPS corals require more stable reef chemistry
- Coral growth or calcification may be limited by low pH
- A protein skimmer is already installed and suitable for air scrubber connection
- The aquarist wants a clean, equipment-based method of pH support
Maintenance Advice
Replace the CO₂ absorbing media when it becomes exhausted or when aquarium pH begins to fall back towards previous levels. Always follow the media manufacturer’s instructions when handling and replacing scrubber media.
When changing media, wear gloves and work in a well-ventilated area. Keep the reactor clean and ensure the air path remains open. Inspect the hose and connectors regularly for salt creep, moisture, dust or blockages that could reduce air flow.
CO₂ absorbing media is not included with the AF Air Scrubber and should be purchased separately.

Why Choose Aquaforest AF Air Scrubber?
Aquaforest AF Air Scrubber is a strong choice for reef keepers looking to improve pH stability without relying only on chemical additives. By treating the air before it enters the protein skimmer, it targets one of the common causes of low reef aquarium pH: excess indoor CO₂.
The large 2.3 litre capacity helps provide extended media contact time, while the compact reactor design makes it suitable for placement in most marine aquarium cabinets. For reef aquariums where stable pH, coral calcification and long-term water chemistry are priorities, the AF Air Scrubber offers a practical and effective equipment-based solution.
