ADA Pro-Brush

PRO-BRUSH is a professional aquascaping tool for scraping off algae on stones or any other layout material.

An abrasive brush enables you to remove stubborn algae efficiently with small force.

ADA Pro-Brush for Algae on Hardscape in SG Tanks

The Pro-Brush is built for the stubborn algae that grows on stones and wood rather than on glass, where a flat scraper cannot reach into texture and crevices. Its abrasive bristles let you scrub off spot algae and the toughest films with minimal force, which protects both your hardscape surface and your wrists during a long maintenance session. We keep one in the toolkit specifically for cleaning rocks before a rescape and for spot-treating problem patches in-place.

Warm, bright Singapore tanks are prone to algae on exposed hardscape, especially where flow is strong and light is intense, so a dedicated brush earns its place. We work it gently to avoid scattering algae spores through the water, then siphon the debris out during the same water change. It pairs naturally with manual removal of black beard algae on wood, which a brush dislodges more effectively than chemicals alone.
