Aqueon Aquarium Algae Scraper, Fish Tank Cleaning Magnets for Glass/Acrylic, Small, Black

Crystal-Clear Glass Made Effortless As someone who takes aquarium maintenance seriously, the Aqueon Aquarium Algae Scraper Cleaning Magnet (Medium) truly exceeded my expectations. The magnetic strength is perfectly balanced — strong enough to power through stubborn algae, yet smooth enough to glide effortlessly across the glass without scratching. What impressed me most is how efficient it is. I can clean large sections of the tank quickly without getting my hands wet, and the inner pad stays aligned without slipping. It makes routine maintenance faster and far less disruptive for the fish. The build quality feels solid and thoughtfully designed for both glass and acrylic setups. It’s simple, effective, and reliable — exactly the kind of well-engineered product I appreciate reviewing and recommending. A must-have tool for any aquarium owner who values clarity and convenience.

I got the medium size for my 29 gal aquarium which is the perfect size. Comes with 2 scrub pads depending on if you have glass or acrylic. Works really good at cleaning the sides of my fish aquarium, at least the glass scrubber as I dont have an acrylic tank to test. I highly recommend this product as an essential part of keeping your aquarium pristine.

The Aqueon Aquarium Algae Scraper in the small size is a strong, easy‑to‑use magnetic cleaner that makes routine algae removal quick and low‑effort. Its magnet has enough power to stay connected while you scrub, and the weighted inner piece drops straight down instead of floating away if it detaches. The included pads for both glass and acrylic make it versatile and safe for different tank types. It glides smoothly across the walls and handles everyday algae buildup well. Overall, it’s a reliable and affordable tool that keeps small aquariums looking clean with minimal work.

I love this tank cleaner. I have an acrylic bow front tank which can make cleaning it with a wand difficult. This makes it easy to scrub back and forth with the powerful magnetic scrubber. The magnet holds well and I just leave it attached in the tank when not in use. I would buy this again, and that is the downfall of this product. I purchased this because of the manufacturers claim that you don’t need to buy a whole new cleaner and you can purchase new clip on scrubbers. You get one scrubber for glass and one for acrylic with the tool. Unfortunately I was not able to source these replacements scrubbers at our big box pet store or Amazon (even with help from an Amazon associate). You need to get them from the manufacturer from what I have found. That said, it is still a great cleaner at a great value. My first one lasted over three years before the scrubber lost efficiency.

Works great! Easy to use and good quality. No scrubbing, works in one swipe.

Lazy aquarium guy here, I'm the fish keeper with a busy life who lets the algae build up. I've used the razor blade scraper tool for ages and have never been satisfied, it just couldn't get it all. Enter the Aqueon scraper and my goodness what an effective tool! It took on the hard crusted algae on my glass and scraped it off with ease. It was actually a pleasure to use this tool, so very surprised at how effective this scraper works on the tough stuff. Now the glass is crystal clear and I can see my fishies. Trust the five stars on this one, highly highly recommended.

Great quality, very strong magnets, this is perfect for my 10 gallon aquarium. It comes with 2 scrubbing pads that snap into place so you can use it for glass or acrylic tanks. The pad for glass has a warning printed on the back to advise it is ONLY for glass, that will help you tell them apart if needed. Otherwise blue scrubber for acrylic and black scrubber for glass. This is very effective at cleaning the inside of the tank. Intuitive design and size. There is a nub on one end to keep the scrubbing above the substrate. You can go slowly around the corner and the scrubber will hop to stick to the next side of the tank. This does not float, but will sink straight down if separated. This is my 2nd one to be able to keep nearby for both the upstairs and downstairs tanks. You can compare the included before and after pictures - on the before pic you can see the clean paths from snail travel on the inside of the glass, on the second we are nice and clear - victory!.

Worked OK for a little while until the blue pad started coming apart.

Bought the medium version which is ideal for 10mm glass. Cleans the glass well and, so far, it hasn't become detached from the outside magnet. It's quite hard work though! The only problem, which is minor, is that the inside magnet tends to vibrate or oscillate as it travels, unless you move extremely slowly. This sets up small pressure waves through the water, enough to make the heater elements wobble when you're in the vicinity, and it freaks the fish out a bit, but only while it's going on. Overall, though, I'm very pleased with it.

I needed something that would help me easily clean my aquarium as it's over 2' deep and my pleco weren't keeping up. Looked around and this seemed to be the best product for its price. Good size and powerful magnet(watch your fingers). Used it on a 120G tank with 1/3" glass and worked great! Glass pad was needed as the blue acrylic pad was too soft. Takes a few swipes to clear thicker algae but not at all a hassle. Very easy to turn corners and switch sides. Haven't had any issues with the magnets detaching either.

El limpiador trae unas bases intercambiables para acuario de cristal o de acrilico.
