The Seachem Algae Scraper is a versatile, professional-grade tool designed for the effective removal of algae from both glass and acrylic aquariums. Engineered with a unique 3-in-1 design, it allows you to switch between specialized blades to tackle everything from soft film algae to stubborn coralline deposits, ensuring your aquarium remains crystal clear with minimal effort.
This scraper is designed to provide maximum cleaning power without compromising the integrity of your aquarium walls.
Interchangeable Blades: Includes three distinct blade types—Stainless Steel, Plastic, and a Soft Scrub Pad—to handle any cleaning task.
Metal Blade (Glass Only): Easily removes tough algae and calcified deposits like coralline from glass aquariums; rust-resistant for long-term use.
Plastic Blade (Glass & Acrylic): Specifically safe for acrylic and plastic tanks, removing algae without the risk of scratching sensitive surfaces.
Scrub Pad: Ideal for everyday maintenance and removing soft algae films from all types of aquarium surfaces.
Ergonomic Handle: Features a comfortable, anti-slip grip and a reinforced handle that allows you to apply the necessary pressure for deep cleaning.
Floating Design: The scraper is designed to float if detached, preventing it from sinking to the bottom and disrupting your substrate or decor.
Can I use the metal blade on my acrylic tank? No. The stainless steel blade should only be used on glass aquariums. For acrylic or plastic tanks, always use the provided plastic blade or scrub pad to avoid permanent scratches.
How do I change the blades? The scraper features a quick-release mechanism that allows you to slide the current blade out and snap a new one in place without the need for additional tools.
Is the handle long enough for deep tanks? The Seachem Algae Scraper is available in various lengths (including 15cm, 31cm, and 46cm) to accommodate different tank depths while keeping your hands dry.
Seachem Clarity: Use after scraping to "clump" and remove any free-floating algae particles that were scrubbed off the glass.
Seachem Pristine: Helps biologically break down the organic waste released during deep cleaning sessions.
Seachem Magnetic Scraper: A great daily companion tool for quick, surface-level touch-ups between deep cleaning sessions.
