The Aqueon Aquarium Algae Scraper is a top-rated magnetic cleaning tool designed for glass and acrylic tanks.

## Description

The Algae Cleaning Magnet is an easy solution for cleaning and aquarium maintenance. It effectively removes algae from the inside of Aqueon MiniBow Aquariums or other desktop aquariums. This magnetic tank cleaner is one piece with a scrubbing side for removing algae inside of the aquarium, while the other part magnetically attaches from the outside. This aquarium magnet has an inside scrubber that is bottom-weighted and will fall straight down if separated. The bowed bottom design allows the scrub pad to rest above the gravel for easy retrieval while reducing the risk of scratching the aquarium walls. Curved acrylic pad cleans curved and flat surfaces. This magnetic algae scraper supports algae control during weekly tank cleaning.

- Magnet makes it easy to clean the inside of the aquariums from the outside

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where do you get replacement pads? I can’t find them**
A: I am sorry to tell you. but you will find them hard to get as we discontinued the replacement pads in the past six months (timing varied by the pad).  The rationale was very few people ever replaced the pads which caused retailers to stop carrying them which of course led to us discontinuing when we ran out.

**Q: Does this work okay with a bowfront tank? I don't know if the curve of the glass would throw the magnet off or another detriment I am not foreseeing**
A: I am using a small magnet on a 70 gallon glass bow front.  I didn't think it would work, but after a little while the pad adjusted to the curve.  Use short strokes and it works great!

**Q: Replacement pad?**
A: You have to check with amazon or just by a new one

**Q: The instructions mentions a black cleaning pad for glass, but my package only came with the blue one? Is that normal?**
A: It should have came with 2 pads mine did
