API Algae Scraper (acrylic)

Super impressed. I have a 240g acrylic tank that is so scraped from using magnetic scrubbers that were supposed to be acrylic safe. Using this sponge is the first sponge that actually removed algae and did NOT scratch my tank. It works so well even in the deep scratches it gets out the algae. You have to use some muscle for the hard spots but even when you do that it doesn’t scratch your tank. I will be buying many more of these. This is a must have for acrylic tanks. I added one photo to show you one spot it removed the algae.

nice scraper works well good price wish they made one with a longer handle but over all a good aquarium cleaner

Works well. Just wish there was a handle to attach to so you don't have to stick your hand in the tank to use.

The API Algae Scraper is a must-have tool for any aquarium enthusiast. Its 18-inch long handle allows me to clean my glass aquarium walls without getting my hands wet, making maintenance much more convenient. The durable scrubbing pad effectively removes algae buildup, leaving the glass crystal clear. I've found it to be sturdy and long-lasting, providing excellent value for its price. It's important to note that this scraper is designed specifically for glass aquariums and should not be used on acrylic surfaces. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with this product and highly recommend it to fellow aquarium owners.

This fine enough for wide open glass in the aquarium, but it's really bulky and thick, so I can't use it around any decorations because it doesn't fit between them and the glass. I end up barely using it because it's easier to just get my arm in there with a paper towel. I'm taking off stars because it's really not that useful to me at all. With that stated, it is sturdy and good for scrubbing if you have tough algae. I'll give it 3 stars because if you have an occasion where it is the right tool for the job, the actual quality of the product is good.

It seems to work well for cleaning my acrylic jellyfish tank.

Anyone who has fish tanks knows the challenge of removing algae and and sediments from the tank. The API ALGAE SCRAPER is in a class by itself. The API handle will not break under pressure of scraping and clearing sedimentary buildup. I’ve bought numerous scrapers and brushes over the years and the handles are a joke, break with the slightest pressure and won’t let you apply enough pressure to get the job done. Those problems are gone with this API scraper. Also the API scraper pad is dense and very effective. Stop searching, this is the one you need.

I briefly had a 5 gallon aquarium but, without prior experience, it got ahead of me and I eventually gave up on it. I turned it into a easy care, fake succulent terrarium. No work, well lit, looked great and just had to dust the cover. But the glass scrubber stayed with me. It's now seven years later and my 'think out of the box mind' found great new uses. First it worked nicely in the tub, but I recently I started to use it as a TOILET BOWL BRUSH! No kidding! Now it's been used to the point where it needs replacement and I will buy two--one for the toilet, another for the tub. I'll mark one with nail polish to distinguish them. The reason I love it for the toilet is the shape and no bristles. Since it is slightly angled and FLAT, it scrubs UNDER the rim like nothing else. And without bristles, it doesn't splatter water drops all over the place! Bristles for me don't hit the bowl surface or scrub as well, either. In my case, it also fits the throat of the toilet perfectly making cleaning so much efficient. Who woulda thunk?

Love it

Funciona de maravilla, limpia muy bien las algas de los vidrios del acuario. En mi acuario se formó demasiada alga muy rápido, con esto pude limpiarlo de manera rápida y sencilla. No requiere mucho esfuerzo y su tamaño es lo suficientemente largo para hacerlo sin mojar tus manos.

Perfect for our little aquarium. Very rigid, the sponge has enough grit to scrape off the algae easily. Handle is long enough not to get your hands wet. What more would you need.

Limpa bem.

A bit bigger than I expected, good for larger tanks but with mine being small it was a bit overkill. This doesn't retract from the effectiveness of this scraper, it does the job well.
