Magnetic Aquarium Brush – Glass Algae Scraper
Algae on the front glass spoils the view long before it bothers the fish, and reaching in with a sponge disturbs everything in the tank. This magnetic aquarium brush cleans from the outside: the outer handle drives an inner pad across the glass, so you scrub the pane without plunging your arm into the water. The magnet is strong enough to keep the inner pad attached even around corners and along the substrate line.
Why fish keepers choose it
- ✔ No wet hands — clean the inside from outside the tank
- ✔ Strong magnet — the pad stays attached as you move
- ✔ Reaches the corners — designed to get into areas a sponge misses
- ✔ Quick routine — a minute of wiping keeps glass clear
- ✔ Less disturbance — fish and plants stay put while you clean

Will it suit your tank?
This magnetic aquarium brush is designed for glass aquariums, where the inner pad grips and slides across a smooth pane. On acrylic tanks, grit trapped between pad and surface can scratch the plastic, so keep it to glass. It reaches around the substrate line and into corners where a flat sponge struggles, which is where algae shows up first.
Care
Rinse the inner pad after every use so trapped grit and algae do not dry onto it, and check it for sand grains before each clean — that is the usual cause of scratches. Keep the two halves clipped together when stored so the magnet does not attract metal filings or lose strength.
What’s in the box
1 x magnetic aquarium brush with outer handle and inner cleaning pad.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. You position the inner pad once, then clean by moving the outer handle. After that, the only time you touch water is when you rinse the pad.
On glass it is safe as long as the pad is free of grit. Check the pad for sand before each use — trapped grains are the usual cause of scratches.
It is intended for glass. Acrylic scratches far more easily, so a softer acrylic-safe cleaner is the better choice there.
The magnet pair is strong enough to keep the inner pad attached while you clean, including around corners and along the substrate line.
Clip the two halves together so the magnet does not pick up metal filings or lose strength. Rinse the pad and let it dry first.
A quick wipe each week keeps algae from taking hold. If you see green spot algae forming, clean more often rather than scrubbing harder.
