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.
The Algae Scrubber is a relatively dense and stiff plastic sponge that quite effectively removes algae and other adherent organisms or particles from the aquarium walls. The diwnside is that it needs to be held and operated by hand, which is problematic in deeper aquariums, or thise that contain lots of floating plants. I found it essentially useless for those two reasons, but it might potentially work well for floating plant- free smaller aquariums.

Algae Scrubber Pads
I’ve now been an aquarium keeper, and follower of Aquarium Co-op for a year…and these scrubber pads are the best cleaning item I’ve found. They are a mainstay of tank maintenance and cleaning.

Both quality products were items I could not find at the local pet stores, or on Amazon. However, the shipping you charged was expensive which caused me to prolong my purchase.

Works great
After the algae scraper magnetic tool doesn't get it, I have to get my hands wet and these pads make quick work

Great for algae, leaves streaks if not submerged
I’m happy with these, even though I wasn’t very observant and thought they were magnetic. I wish they didn’t leave streaks as bad when using on the lid or outside of the aquarium
