Strong Magnet and Easy to Use
This algae scraper works great and makes cleaning the aquarium glass quick and easy. The magnet is strong enough to stay in place while moving smoothly across the glass. It removes algae effectively without scratching the tank and has a comfortable grip. The quality is excellent, and it’s a great tool for keeping the aquarium looking clean. Highly recommended.

Great!
Works great! It has great cleaning power and is a great price. I have it in my 10 gallon set up so it’s a little big but it would be perfect for a 15 gallon. It’s very durable and the weighted side actually works so if it slips it actually falls up!

Better than the usuals!
This works better than I expected. I've had other brands before but this one actually does a better job getting that super tough algae, even black beard!

Absolutely Perfect Scraper for 10-gallon tanks
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.

Easiest way to get rid of Algae
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.

works well!
I have a 50 g acrylic tank that had a heavy growth of algae on all walls. I odered the medium size which was quite appropriate for the task and also fit the dobie scrubber well. Finally had to take action and this worked well but the acyrlic pad did not clear the algae. Youtube research suggested affixing the scrub netting from a dobie scrubber would clear the algae. Voila!! This worked great and the walls are now totally clear of algae with no scratches and with only moderate effort. Tank and fish now look great. Quite a reasonable price and much more affordable than other pricier options.

My bad.
First the good. Excellent construction, and the magnet is amazing. I give it 3 stars, because it isn't *bad* it is just not what I expected. I have the Aqueon Bow 5-gallon that sits on my desk for my betta. Since that product was mentioned in the description, I assumed some compatibility with that bow front. Silly of me. It does not clean the bow shape as hopeful for. In fact, it doesn't clean that well on the "flat" sides either. I don't know how to describe it; it leaves stripes of cleanliness behind it, but not much more. I went back to my small-sized regular magnet product and resumed cleaning that way, and scrubbing the bow front with elbow grease. Keeping it. A little disappointed though.

IDEAL PARA NANOS
Limpiador magnético pequeño muy recomendable para acuarios nano. Tiene un imán fuerte para vidrio delgado, es fácil de maniobrar entre plantas y hardscape, y funciona muy bien para limpiar algas suaves y biofilm diario. Además, su tamaño compacto lo hace cómodo y práctico para mantenimiento rápido. Como punto negativo, no es tan efectivo contra algas duras muy adheridas y puede rayar el vidrio si atrapa arena o Flourite. En general, tiene muy buena relación calidad/precio y encaja excelente para tus acuarios.
