Works well
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.

Excellent Algae Scraper for Glass Aquariums
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.

Too bulky
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.

Safe and effective sponge cleaner for acrylic tank
I had heavy brown algae growing in my betta's 3-gallon acrylic tank and wanted a product that wouldn't scratch. I'm amazed how well this sponge worked to easily remove the algae and NO SCRATCHES! Just be sure to really, really wet the sponge and keep it wet when in use. Also, be gentle - don't press hard. If it doesn't remove algae immediately then simply re-do the area but don't apply more pressure. Remember, very light touch and it will do the job.

Perfect Tool
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.

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.
