🐠 Algae Scraper for Acrylic Aquariums - API, 1-Count Container Review

I made the mistake of applying acrylic to my ninth reef aquarium. Since I always have sand in my aquarium (I think tanks look terrible without sand), I get scratches all the time, even with plastic edge scrapers. This is ideal for the corners forming coral and seaweed without scratching them.

This was a replacement for one that I used for 10-12 years before being stored for 8-9 years and then used again recently after I bought it set up old Tropiquarium 88. The old scrubber has lost most of its "grip" but the new one requires much less effort. I'm glad I replaced it. I don't give 5 stars for anything less than absolute perfection, but it's close.

$800 aquarium featuring a brand new misty movement on the front with little to no printing (because I wanted to see what it would remove without sanding it like I do with my mitten got to). THREE passes forward and backward - that's all. The scraper was also first thoroughly washed; actually soaked because it stank like it had been soaked in turpentine. I tried to take photos but it didn't work. angry about it.

I still couldn't clean it this way because I just couldn't reach and brush hard enough. I can effectively clean 95% of the tank with this scrubber. It's a lot easier this way and my cleaning doesn't bother the turtles.

We have a fairly deep acrylic tank and would have liked a few inches more length, but overall I'm very happy with this product. The tool is nicely shaped and it's easy to apply sufficient cleaning pressure to the tank walls. I use it for stubborn green algae that my otocinclus can't help with. The price of this scraper ($6.59 on Prime as of this writing) is very reasonable.

I ordered both glass and acrylic seaweed scrapers and both arrived second hand in a box, API guide/carton shown on the product image did not arrive attached to the packaging. Handles on both scrapers, but it just dangled in the box, he couldn't unscrew it on his own. The white deposit on the acrylic scraper was not white but had a yellow tint. I didn't want to ask for an exchange. I have just soaked both in hot water to clean them well and kill any bacteria on them, the pads seem to be…

This scraper is for acrylic aquariums. I won't mention the brand, but my aquarium won't let you remove the lid completely - there are different slots for things like lights, filters, thermometers, etc. This affects how well this brush works. With such an aquarium, you cannot clean the aquarium where two pieces of acrylic meet. It's great for an open tank or one that can expose the corners of the tank, but I need a short-handled brush (or a clean rag) to get into the corners of the tank. This is
