Using the brush

This brush is an attachment, not a complete tool: it fits the handle of the EHEIM rapidCleaner, so you need that cleaning system to use it. Its job is thread or hair algae, the long green strands that wrap around plants, rocks and decorations. Push the brush into a clump and twist it slowly, so the strands wind around the bristles much like spaghetti on a fork, then lift it out of the water and pull the algae off. Work gently around delicate plants and keep fish out of the way. Removing algae by hand only treats the symptom, so also look at the causes: lighting left on for too long, excess nutrients from overfeeding, or too few water changes. Rinse the brush thoroughly after each use and let it dry fully before storing.
