Aquaforest Air Scrubber 2.3L

Introduction

The Aquaforest AF Air Scrubber is a specialised CO₂ removal reactor designed for marine and reef aquariums. It works with a protein skimmer to remove excess carbon dioxide from the air entering the skimmer, helping raise and stabilise aquarium pH and reduce daily pH fluctuations. When used with compatible AF Air Scrubber Media, it can support more stable reef aquarium conditions and promote healthy coral development.
