Seachem Aquarium Algae Scraper with 3 Retractable Cleaning Options for Glass and Acrylic

Seachem Algae Scraper is an aquarium cleaning tool for removing algae, with three retractable cleaning options for use on glass and acrylic aquariums.

• Three retractable options—metal, plastic and soft pad—let you choose among different cleaning surfaces.
• Designed for glass and acrylic aquariums to support routine algae removal across both tank types.
• A lightweight, ergonomic handle is comfortable to hold in multiple positions.
• The scraper floats, making it easier to retrieve if it falls into the aquarium.
• Replacement cartridges, blades and pads are available to keep the tool in use as parts need replacing.

Algae on aquarium surfaces can make it harder to see the tank clearly. Seachem Algae Scraper gives aquarium owners a handheld tool with several retractable options for this cleaning task. Its design accommodates both glass and acrylic aquariums, while the choice of metal, plastic or soft pad gives you different attachments within one scraper. The floating body is useful during aquarium maintenance, when a tool may slip from your hand and into the water.

Can I use the Seachem Algae Scraper on glass and acrylic?

Yes. Seachem Algae Scraper is designed for both glass and acrylic aquariums. There is one important surface restriction: do not use the metal blade on acrylic, because it may scratch the tank. Choose the attachment with the aquarium material in mind, and keep the metal blade for glass surfaces.

• The metal blade is not suitable for acrylic tanks.

What cleaning options and replacement parts does it have?

The scraper has three retractable options: a metal blade, a plastic option and a soft pad. The retractable design keeps the options housed in the scraper rather than requiring a separate tool for each. Replacement cartridges, blades and pads are available when you need replacement parts.

• Replacement cartridges are available.
• Replacement blades and pads are also available.

What makes the handle convenient to use and store?

Seachem Algae Scraper has a lightweight, ergonomic handle designed for comfortable use in multiple holding positions. It floats for easier retrieval, and its white finish contrasts with algae so you can see what you are removing. A retractable blade housing covers the blade while it is not in use.

• The handle includes a hole for hanging storage.
• The white design helps distinguish algae from the scraper during cleaning.
• The blade housing retracts to hide the blade when it is not in use.

This scraper suits aquarium owners who want one handheld tool with multiple retractable cleaning options for glass and acrylic tanks. It is also useful for people who value a floating design and a handle that can be held in different positions. For acrylic aquariums, the metal blade is not intended for use; the scraper’s other retractable options provide the alternatives. Its combination of three cleaning options, a floating handle and replaceable parts makes it a practical fit for routine aquarium algae removal.
