IceCap media is intended for a CO2-scrubbing setup to help control carbon dioxide and raise aquarium pH. It is a consumable media, not a standalone device: a CO2 scrubber and protein skimmer are required for use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is IceCap CO2 Absorbent Media designed to do?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is designed to absorb CO2 in a scrubber system and help raise aquarium pH. The media is a precise mixture of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH).
