Seachem Duo Algae Pad 25 mm Thick (1 pack)
One pad, two ways to keep glass and acrylic spotless. The Seachem Duo Algae Pad pairs a micro-abrasive melamine foam face with a durable scrubbing face on a single 25 mm thick pad, lifting algae film from viewing panes then tackling rockwork, driftwood and old scratches without soap or detergent.
Key features
- Dual-sided design — melamine foam face for algae film on glass and acrylic, plus a durable scrubbing face for rockwork and driftwood.
- 25 mm thick pad — more material to work with before it wears through.
- No soap or detergent needed — cleans by mechanical action alone.
- Lifts algae out of scratches — melamine foam reaches into fine scratches where algae hides.
- Safe for glass and acrylic — Seachem markets it as suitable for both surface types.
- White pad body — makes algae build-up easy to see as you work.
