CONTINUUM Algaescraper Plastic Short

Description

Built for performance. By design.
With its solid construction, safe for acrylic* blades, and molded-in fiberglass handles, the AquaBlade looks beautiful. And works beautifully.

Blades full of sharp ideas.
The AquaBlade cyan blade was created by testing countless different types of plastics and plastic blends. The results are a special self lubricating plastic that is softer than acrylic, so it will not scratch acrylic*. Constructed of 316 stainless steel, the AquaBlade metal blade is both strong and rust resistant so removing that stubborn coralline algae is a breeze.

Compatibility Built-In
100% Backwards compatible with previous units. Our scraper fits the old blades, our blades fit the old scraper.

Strength and beauty.
By utilizing virgin plastic in the molding process instead of re-grind or recycled plastics, the AquaBlade is much stronger and more agile than other scrapers. The first time you pick up an AquaBlade you’ll notice the difference it makes. It feels strong and durable — perfect for work inside your aquarium.

No hollowness. No odor.
The AquaBlade is injected molded as a solid piece of plastic which keeps water from entering the unit while using. This means no hollow handles and drizzling of excess water when removed from the aquarium. And without trapped aquarium water inside the scraper it will never develop odors from growing bacteria.

Continuum Algaescraper (Short) for Routine Glass Cleaning

A short-handled algae scraper is the tool we reach for most during quick weekly maintenance: enough reach for a nano or standard tank, compact enough to control precisely along seams and into corners where film algae first takes hold. Used regularly, a scraper keeps glass clear with light effort, rather than letting green dust build into the stubborn green-spot algae that needs real scrubbing. Keep one within arm’s reach of the tank and a thirty-second wipe becomes a habit.

In our warm, bright Singapore homes, algae grows fast, especially on tanks near windows or running long photoperiods, so a dependable scraper earns its keep. Take care on acrylic and on tanks with sand close to the glass: grit dragged under a blade is what causes scratches, so rinse the blade and lift it clear of the substrate line as you work. For glass tanks, a firm scrape lifts most film cleanly without chemicals.
