API Algae Scraper For Glass Aquariums – Extra Long

The API Algae Scraper for Glass Aquariums is a tough scraper with an extra-long 45 cm (18 inch) handle, so you can clean the inside of the glass without soaking your arm. The handle supports a durable scrubbing pad that lifts unsightly algae quickly and easily, and the scraper can be used as often as your tank needs it. It is designed for glass aquariums only.

Key features of the API Algae Scraper

• Extra-long 45 cm handle
• Durable scrubbing pad
• Keeps your hand dry
• Removes algae quickly
• For glass aquariums only

Getting a clean finish

The 45cm length makes it practical for deeper tanks, where a short pad would mean reaching in up to your elbow. Work in overlapping strokes from the top of the glass downwards, and stop just above the substrate so sand or gravel cannot get caught in the pad and scratch the glass. Take care along the silicone seams in the corners. Scraping just before a water change lets you siphon out the loosened algae rather than leaving it to settle back into the tank. Hang the scraper up to dry after rinsing.

Good to know

Do not use it on acrylic, plexiglass or any dry surface, and rinse the pad with tap water before and after every use.
