Aquaforest Air Scrubber Media

CO₂ Absorbing Media for Stable Reef Aquarium pH

Aquaforest Air Scrubber Media is a highly effective CO₂ absorbing medium designed to raise and stabilize pH in reef aquariums. Formulated for use with the AF Air Scrubber reactor, it helps prevent harmful pH drops caused by elevated indoor CO₂ levels—common in closed or poorly ventilated spaces.

Features & Benefits

• Efficient CO₂ absorption to prevent water acidification

• Raises pH by ~0.2–0.4 to stabilize within 8.0–8.4 range

• Reduces daily pH swings for improved coral health

• Color-changing media indicates saturation for easy replacement

• Clean, dry pellets allow consistent airflow and high performance

• Safe for fish and corals, non-toxic and easy to handle

• Single-use, high-efficiency cartridge

• Full refill for 2.3L AF Air Scrubber reactor

How It Works

When used with the Aquaforest AF Air Scrubber, this media absorbs CO₂ from air drawn into your protein skimmer, minimizing acidification of the water and helping corals thrive in a stable environment. The media changes color as it becomes saturated—turning purple when it has absorbed CO₂ and should be replaced.

Only original Aquaforest cartridges ensure maximum effectiveness and uninterrupted performance.
