Algae Scraper – Acrylic Safe

Acrylic aquariums and modern rimless tanks require a gentler approach to algae removal than traditional glass panels. This acrylic-safe scraper uses a flexible soft-edge plastic blade that glides across the surface without leaving micro-scratches that cloud the viewing panel over time.

The blade is firm enough to remove soft green algae and light brown diatom films, while the ergonomic handle provides good control for slow, deliberate strokes. The tool is also ideal for cleaning internal surfaces of plastic sumps, refugiums, and breeding boxes.

For best results, clean acrylic surfaces frequently so algae does not accumulate into thick mats that require excessive force to remove.
