## Description

The Algae Cleaning Magnets are an easy solution to effectively remove algae from inside of the aquarium walls. One piece has a scrubbing side for removing algae inside of the aquarium, while the other part magnetically attaches from the outside. Each algae cleaning magnet comes with one pad for glass aquariums and one pad for acrylic aquariums. The inside scrubber magnet is bottom-weighted that 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. Three different sizes to accommodate various glass and acrylic aquariums.

Review: 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.

## 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
