Seachem Algae Scraper – 31cm

The Seachem Algae Scraper is a lightweight aquarium scraper with an ergonomic handle and three retractable blade types, so you can switch between metal, plastic and pad heads to suit glass or acrylic tanks. It floats if dropped, making it easy to retrieve from the water. This is the 31cm length.

Key features of the Seachem Algae Scraper

• Metal, plastic and pad blades
• Retractable blade design
• Floats if dropped
• Length: 31cm

Choosing a length

Pick the handle length by the depth of your aquarium rather than its volume, so you can reach the bottom of the glass without putting your hand in the water. The 15cm scraper suits nano and small tanks, the 31cm is a good all-rounder for most standard aquariums, and the 46cm reaches the lower glass of deep reef and display tanks. The Replacement Kit is for renewing worn blades rather than buying a whole new scraper. Rinse the blades in fresh water after use in a marine tank so salt does not build up on them.

Good to know

Use the plastic blade or pad on acrylic tanks, and keep sand away from the blade to avoid scratching the panel.
