[ARRIVED 23-JAN-2026] Seachem Algae Scraper 15cm (6 inches)

Description

Seachem 3-in-1 Algae Scraper – 15cm (6”)

Compact floating algae scraper with interchangeable blades for glass and acrylic aquariums

Quick Facts

  • Length: 15 cm (6 inches)
  • Function: Aquarium algae scraper
  • Blade Types: Metal blade, plastic blade, soft pad
  • Suitable For: Glass & acrylic aquariums
  • Design: Floating scraper body
  • Safety: Retractable blade housing

Is this for you?

✔️ Good if:

  • You maintain nano or smaller aquariums
  • You want precise algae cleaning control
  • You clean both acrylic and glass tanks
  • You prefer compact maintenance tools

❌ Avoid if:

  • You need deep reach for large tanks
  • You prefer magnetic algae cleaners only
  • You want a long-handle scraper
  • You maintain very deep aquariums

Why this algae scraper?

The Seachem 3-in-1 Algae Scraper offers multiple cleaning options in one compact tool, making it ideal for smaller aquariums and precision cleaning.

Interchangeable blades allow safe cleaning across glass and acrylic tanks, helping remove algae without unnecessary scratching.

Its short design gives better control for nano aquariums, planted tanks, and tight maintenance areas where larger scrapers feel bulky.

Common mistakes

  • Using the metal blade on acrylic surfaces
  • Dragging substrate grit against glass
  • Applying excessive pressure near silicone seams
  • Cleaning without rinsing the blade between uses
  • Using the wrong blade for delicate surfaces

Use made simple

  • Select the correct blade type
  • Clean algae using gentle pressure
  • Use compact length for detailed control
  • Rinse scraper after use
  • Retract blade safely for storage

Pair with

  • Nano aquarium maintenance tools
  • Microfiber cleaning cloths
  • Water change equipment
  • Glass-safe algae removers
  • Routine aquarium maintenance
NTA Insight:
Short scrapers are often better for nano tanks because they give more control and reduce accidental disruption to plants, hardscape, and shrimp during cleaning.

FAQ

Can this be used on acrylic tanks?

Yes, but only with the plastic blade or soft pad. Avoid the metal blade on acrylic.

Does this scraper float?

Yes. It floats if accidentally dropped into the aquarium.

What is the metal blade for?

The metal blade is intended for removing stubborn algae from glass aquariums.

Is 15 cm suitable for larger tanks?

It works best for nano and smaller aquariums where reach is less important.

Can I change the cleaning head?

Yes. The scraper includes interchangeable cleaning options for different surfaces.

    Live Arrival & Ordering FAQ

    Do you offer a live arrival guarantee?

    Yes. All livestock is covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee.

    In the rare event of DOA, please contact us promptly with clear photos of the livestock in the original unopened bag.

    Please review our full DOA and store policies before purchase.

    Can you ship to all states in Australia?

    No. Due to state restrictions, we cannot ship livestock or live plants to WA and TAS.

    What should I check before ordering?

    Before placing an order, make sure:

    • Your tank is fully cycled and stable
    • Your aquarium has enough space for the species
    • Your current livestock are compatible in temperament, size, and requirements
    • Your water parameters, habitat, and temperature suit the species
    • You are not adding too many fish at once
    What should I expect when my fish arrives?

    It is normal for fish, shrimp, or snails to look pale, stressed, or less active after shipping.

    This is temporary. Most livestock will settle and regain colour within a few days.

    How long does it take for fish to settle in?

    Most livestock will take 3–7 days to fully adjust to their new environment.

    Should I feed my fish immediately after arrival?

    No. We recommend waiting 24 hours before feeding to allow them to settle.

    If you already have fish in your tank, feeding them before introducing new arrivals can help reduce stress.

    Why do fish sometimes struggle after being added to a tank?

    In most cases, issues are caused by tank conditions, not shipping.

    • Uncycled or unstable tanks
    • Poor water parameters
    • Overstocking
    • Unsuitable tank mates
    What is Nano Tanks Australia’s main tip for new livestock?

    Most livestock losses happen in immature or unstable tanks, not during shipping.

    If your setup is not fully established, the risk to new arrivals is significantly higher.

    Not sure if this fish is right for your setup?

    If you are unsure whether this species suits your setup, contact us before ordering and we’ll help point you in the right direction.
