Seachem Aquarium Algae Scraper with Retractable Blades and Soft Cleaning Pad

Seachem Algae Scraper is a retractable aquarium cleaning tool with metal, plastic and soft-pad options for removing algae from aquarium surfaces.

• Three retractable cleaning options — choose a metal blade, plastic blade or soft pad.
• Designed for glass and acrylic aquariums — the blade option is not for acrylic.
• White design — makes algae easier to see against the scraper as you clean.
• Floats — easier to retrieve if it slips into the aquarium.
• Lightweight, ergonomic handle — supports comfortable use in multiple positions.
• Retractable blade housing — covers the blade when it is not in use.

Algae on aquarium surfaces can obscure the view of the tank and make routine cleaning harder. Seachem Algae Scraper brings several cleaning options together in one tool, so aquarium owners can choose an option suited to the surface being cleaned. Its visible white design also helps you see the algae you are removing and judge when it has been cleared.

Can Seachem Algae Scraper be used on glass and acrylic?

Seachem Algae Scraper is designed for both glass and acrylic aquariums, with one important surface limitation: do not use the blade option on acrylic, because it may scratch the tank. The tool’s metal blade, plastic blade and soft pad provide distinct cleaning options; select an option appropriate to the aquarium surface.

• The blade option is not suitable for acrylic surfaces.
• Replacement cartridges, blades and pads are available.

What cleaning options does Seachem Algae Scraper have?

Seachem Algae Scraper has three retractable options: metal, plastic and a soft pad. This gives aquarium owners different scraper and pad choices in one tool, rather than relying on a single cleaning surface. Its blade housing retracts to cover the blade when it is not being used.

• Options include a metal blade, plastic blade and soft pad.
• The blade housing is designed to hide the blade when retracted.

How is Seachem Algae Scraper handled and stored?

Seachem Algae Scraper has a lightweight, ergonomic handle designed for comfortable use in multiple positions. It floats for easier retrieval, while a hole in the handle provides a way to hang it for storage. The white finish contrasts with algae, helping you see what you are removing while you work.

• Floating design helps make the scraper easier to retrieve.
• A handle hole allows hanging storage.

Seachem Algae Scraper suits aquarium owners who want several retractable cleaning options in one lightweight tool for glass and acrylic tanks. Keep the surface limitation in mind when choosing an option: the blade should not be used on acrylic. Its combination of three cleaning options, a floating design and a handle made for multiple positions supports routine aquarium algae removal.
