Aquaforest AF-150 All-In-Skim 4-in-1 Filtration System
Reclaim Your Sump Space. Stabilize Your pH. Elevate Your Reef.
Managing a thriving reef tank usually means crowding your sump with independent reactors, skimmers, air scrubbers, and tubing. The Aquaforest AF-150 All-In-Skim completely rewrites the rules of marine filtration. It is the world’s first true 4-in-1 filtration hub, combining a high-performance protein skimmer, an integrated $CO_2$ scrubber, a mechanical air filter, and a dedicated biological media chamber into a single, ultra-compact footprint.
Powered by the highly efficient, controllable Reeflow 2300 pump, the AF-150 eliminates cabinet clutter, slashes your maintenance routine, and delivers the rock-solid pH stability that demanding SPS and mixed-reef corals require to thrive.
4 Essential Filtration Systems in One Sleek Footprint
Instead of daisy-chaining multiple pieces of equipment, the AF-150 channels your water and air through four distinct purification stages simultaneously:
-
1. High-Efficiency Protein Skimmer: Generates an incredibly dense, dry foam to pull organic waste, uneaten food, and fish excrement out of the water column before it can break down into harmful nitrates and phosphates. By eliminating the traditional diffuser plate, the chamber creates a highly turbulent, unrestrictive water flow that dramatically boosts skimming performance.
-
2. Integrated $CO_2$ Scrubber: High indoor carbon dioxide levels are the number one cause of chronically low tank pH, which directly stunts coral calcification. The built-in $CO_2$ scrubber actively strips carbon dioxide from the incoming air supply. It features a unique semi-open or closed-loop recirculating configuration to maximize your moisture levels and drastically extend the lifespan of your scrubbing media.
-
3. Contaminant & Odor Air Filter: Protects your delicate ecosystem from everyday airborne household toxins, dust, perfume sprays, and allergens. Additionally, a specialized activated carbon stage sits directly above the skimmer cup collection lid, completely neutralizing raw skimmer odors before they escape into your living space.
-
4. Dedicated Biological Chamber: A built-in internal media zone holds biological filter media in direct, extended contact with the water stream. This provides the perfect low-velocity environment for dense colonies of nitrifying bacteria to establish, rapidly processing excess nitrogen and phosphorus compounds for unmatched water clarity.

Why the AF-150 Belongs On Your Reef Setup
Ultimate pH Stability around the Clock
Fluctuating pH stresses corals and slows down growth. By integrating the $CO_2$ scrubber directly into the skimmer’s primary air intake, the All-In-Skim ensures a steady supply of fresh, high-pH air to your water column. The result? A flatlined, elevated pH profile that allows corals to construct their skeletons faster and healthier.
Precision Controllable Reeflow 2300 Pump
No more fixed-speed pumps that overflow your cup during water changes or additives dosing. The included Reeflow 2300 features a dedicated controller with precise 1% incremental adjustments. It operates with near-silent acoustics, boasts low energy draw, and features built-in safety safeguards to protect against dry-runs, blockages, or overheating.
Designed for Small Sump Spaces
Measuring a mere 7.32" by 7.17", the AF-150 fits comfortably in nearly any standard sump cabinet layout. It replaces an independent skimmer, a standalone $CO_2$ scrubber reactor, and a biological media cup, saving you feet of tangled silicone tubing and freeing up massive real estate for macroalgae or refugiums.
