Reduce CO2 in an Aquarium With Reef Octopus Universal CO2 Scrubber
The Reef Octopus CO2 Scrubber is a universal reactor that will help control pH levels in a reef tank. The ideal pH level for a reef aquarium should be around 8.3 for optimal coral growth. If an aquarium suffers from chronically low pH or it is challenging to keep pH within the desired range, connecting a Reef Octopus CO2 Scrubber to the air intake of a protein skimmer is a great solution to increasing and maintaining the tank's pH levels.

How the CO2 scrubber works
A protein skimmer pulls in a lot of room air. When indoor CO2 is high, that air pushes CO2 into the water and drags pH down. The scrubber sits on the skimmer's air intake, so the air passes through CO2-absorbent media first and the skimmer returns CO2-stripped air to the tank.
Connect it: run the scrubber outlet to your skimmer's air intake and use the dual valves to tune airflow.
