Aquarium Scrapers

A scraper is a great tool that can be used to remove algae from the aquarium glass. Most scrapers come with a two-sided head. One side has a soft sponge for wiping away loose algae. The other side of the scraper contains a tough scrub pad for removing encrusted algae and lime deposits. Most scrapers are made of plastic and have a long handle for reaching difficult spots in the aquarium. The other end of this tool looks like a small fork and is great for turning over gravel and planting.
