Why this algae scraper?
The Seachem 3-in-1 Algae Scraper offers multiple cleaning options in one compact tool, making it ideal for smaller aquariums and precision cleaning.

Its short design gives better control for nano aquariums, planted tanks, and tight maintenance areas where larger scrapers feel bulky.
Common mistakes
- Using the metal blade on acrylic surfaces
- Dragging substrate grit against glass
- Applying excessive pressure near silicone seams
- Cleaning without rinsing the blade between uses
- Using the wrong blade for delicate surfaces
Use made simple
- Select the correct blade type
- Clean algae using gentle pressure
- Use compact length for detailed control
- Rinse scraper after use
- Retract blade safely for storage
Pair with
- Nano aquarium maintenance tools
- Microfiber cleaning cloths

- Routine aquarium maintenance
Short scrapers are often better for nano tanks because they give more control and reduce accidental disruption to plants, hardscape, and shrimp during cleaning.
FAQ
Can this be used on acrylic tanks?
Yes, but only with the plastic blade or soft pad. Avoid the metal blade on acrylic.

Yes. It floats if accidentally dropped into the aquarium.
What is the metal blade for?
The metal blade is intended for removing stubborn algae from glass aquariums.
Is 15 cm suitable for larger tanks?
