Without the CO2 algae are unable to photosynthesize and in this way CO2 becomes a limiting factor for all algae, cyano, hair algae etc.
The CO2 removal helps to raise and maintain a stable pH value which is highly beneficial to the overall health of your aquarium improving the corals health and growth being an effective preventative measure at removing airbourne pollutants from entering the aquarium
The ATI Carbo EX 1 litre filter unit is a disposable air filter that connects to your protein skimmer as a ready to fit filter cartridge for up to 95% removal of CO2 and fine particles from the air supply such as dust pollens and smoke etc.
Because of the lower absorbed CO2 concentration the pH is raised and stabilised, whereby the growth of the corals is enhanced, in addition the growth of algae and cyano bacteria is limited
The CO2 absorbing media changes colour from white to blue when exhausted and on these 1 litre units simply replace with a new one
