Stop spending hours scrubbing algae off the sides of your tank and use an algae scrubber sponge instead. Add just a little bit of elbow grease, and algae, hard water stains, and dirt won't stand a chance. This sponge is small but mighty — perfect for touch-ups and touch cleaning at our store and warehouse. You will receive 3 algae scrubbers in each pack.
Make Tank Maintenance Easier
Whether you are doing thorough tank maintenance or a little spot cleaning, the Aquarium Co-Op algae scrubber is the perfect tool to speed up the process. Use it to quickly remove algae and hard water stains so that you have a crystal clear view.
Free of Fragrance and Chemicals
They're made of non-toxic melamine foam and are completely safe for fish, shrimp, snails, and plants. You can feel confident when putting our scrubbers in your tanks, knowing that there are no added chemicals or scents that would harm your aquatic pets. We do recommend using just 1 algae scrubber per tank to avoid any cross contamination.
Works in Hard-to-Reach Spots
Our algae scrubbers are great for cleaning tight spots and corners that traditional algae scrapers with a handle can't reach. They're also gentle enough to clean algae off anubias and java fern leaves.
Safe for Glass and Acrylic
Tough on algae but gentle with glass or acrylic aquariums! Your tank walls are safe from damage with our algae scrubbers. To prevent scratches, be careful of picking up any sand or fine substrate. Wipe the walls near the ground in a downward motion, and once you reach the bottom, remove any sand on the scrubber.
I ordered this pak of 3 scrubbers just to get my order total up for free shipping. I tried to find more info on exactly what I was ordering but couldn’t find the item listed under products. I’m quite pleased! The price was good. They look like magic eraser sponges, and do a nice job on the aquarium glass. I like how they are lightweight and squeeze out completely. I keep one on top of my filter box and use it often.

Love the Algae Scrubber!
I've used other sponges to clean my 10 gallon aquarium but nothing works as well as the Algae Scrubber. You don't have to apply much pressure - just wipe the glass and the algae comes right off. The only downside is the sponge does have a tendency to break apart but as long as you go slowly and don't scrub aggressively it works great. Will buy again!

An indispensable cleaning tool!
These pads remove algae without scratching your glass. They are quite durable and will last for many applications provided that they are rinsed after each use.

Works like a charm
Really effective on algae and scum on the glass. Great price too. Already ordered more

Works very well. Still requires scrubbing, and sponges begin to degrade fairly quickly, but still works better to clean algae than anything thing else I've tried

High quality scrubbers
These are thicker and last longer than some of the budget bulk pads found elsewhere. There is also some piece of mind knowing that these pads don't have any chemicals added. I use these on my acrylic tanks with no issues. I am very happy with this product.

I've been a long-time customer and have always been happy with Aquarium Co-op’s fish pellets and Hikari fish food—they are excellent quality and my fish thrive on them. However, I am very disappointed with the small containers of brine shrimp eggs. I have always purchased the large tin without any issues, consistently achieving a 95% hatch rate. However, after switching to the smaller containers, I am getting a 0% hatch rate despite using the exact same setup.
I purchased six small containers and have already used three, all with the same outcome. I stored them in the freezer immediately upon arrival, but that did not improve the hatch rate. Given my experience with the larger tin, I am confident that my setup is not the issue.
I would appreciate some guidance on this matter. Is there a possibility of a refund or exchange? I’d prefer to order the large container once it’s back in stock, as I’ve always had success with it. Please let me know how to proceed.
Thank you!

Works Great
Works great to remove algae. Much less scrubbing is required with this than other sponges I have used.
