Aquaforest AF Air Scrubber Media 2L

Aquaforest AF Air Scrubber Media 2L

Aquaforest AF Air Scrubber Media 2L is a CO2-absorbing filter media for saltwater aquariums, made for use in the AF Air Scrubber. It suits reef keepers who want to raise low pH caused by high carbon dioxide and avoid harmful swings in water parameters. The 2 litre (0.53 gal) pack is a full reactor refill.

Why CO2 Matters

Carbon dioxide (CO2) levels directly affect your aquarium's pH, which in turn can seriously impact coral growth and the overall health of your system. This media helps prevent the harmful fluctuations that low pH from high CO2 concentrations can cause.

Key Benefits

• Excellent CO2 absorption properties
• Effectively raises pH levels
• Supports conditions for coral growth
• Helps prevent large pH swings in saltwater aquariums
• Colour changing, so you can see when it is time to replace
• Can be used together with carbon media
• Helps keep pH stable in saltwater aquariums when used and replaced regularly

How to Use

• Use it in the filter chamber of an AF Air Scrubber.
• The dry pellets fill the chamber tightly while still allowing airflow, which gives efficient carbon dioxide absorption.
• Replace the media when the colour change tells you it is spent.
• Regular replacement is what keeps pH stable over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does AF Air Scrubber Media do?
It absorbs carbon dioxide in saltwater aquariums. This helps raise pH and limits the harmful fluctuations that high CO2 can cause.

How do I know when to replace the media?
The pellets change colour to show when they need replacing. Regular replacement is needed to keep pH stable.

Do I need an AF Air Scrubber to use it?
Yes, it is made for the AF Air Scrubber. The pellets fill the filter chamber tightly while still letting air flow through.

Can I run it alongside carbon media?
Yes, it can be used together with carbon media.

How much media is in the pack?
The pack holds 2000 ml (2 litres), enough for one full AF Air Scrubber reactor refill.

Why does low pH matter in a reef tank?
High CO2 levels can lower pH, which can seriously affect coral growth and the overall health of your system. Absorbing CO2 helps keep conditions steadier for corals.
