Seachem DuoPad – Dual-Action Algae Scrubber for Glass & Acrylic

Seachem DuoPad is a specialized, dual-textured cleaning pad designed specifically for the safe and effective removal of algae from both glass and acrylic aquarium surfaces. Unlike generic sponges that can harbor abrasive debris or scratch sensitive acrylic, the DuoPad features a unique two-sided construction: one side is a high-performance scuff-resistant pad for tough algae, while the other is a soft micro-fiber for delicate polishing and finishing.

Versatile Cleaning & Surface Protection

The DuoPad is engineered to handle everything from stubborn green spot algae to fine diatoms without damaging your aquarium’s clarity.

Dual-Textured Design: Features a coarse, non-scratch side for removing hard mineral deposits and encrusting algae, and a soft melamine-like side for fine films.
Acrylic Safe: Specifically formulated to be gentle enough for acrylic and plastic aquariums, which are notoriously prone to scratching from standard scrubbers.
Ergonomic Size & Shape: Designed to fit comfortably in the hand, allowing for easy access to tight corners, silicone seams, and behind aquarium equipment.
Durable & Reusable: Constructed from high-quality, long-lasting materials that resist tearing and mechanical breakdown even after multiple heavy cleaning sessions.
Chemical-Free Cleaning: Requires no detergents or glass cleaners; the mechanical action of the specialized fibers does all the work, ensuring your livestock remains safe.

FAQ Section: Common Questions

Is the Seachem DuoPad safe for all acrylic tanks? Yes. The soft side is specifically designed for acrylic. However, always check for trapped sand or substrate in the pad before scrubbing, as the debris itself—not the pad—is what typically causes scratches.
Can I use the DuoPad on the outside of the aquarium? Absolutely. The soft micro-fiber side is excellent for removing salt creep, water spots, and fingerprints from the exterior glass or acrylic.
How do I maintain the DuoPad after use? Simply rinse the pad thoroughly with tap water to remove any trapped algae or debris and allow it to air dry. Do not use soap or bleach, as these can be difficult to rinse out and may harm your fish.
