I’ve used this pad for several weeks now and it works very well for removing algae from hard-to-reach areas. It’s easy to hold and doesn’t leave residue. Just rinse it after each use and it stays effective.

The pad is sturdy and effective at scraping algae off glass. I found it easier than using a brush in tight spots. I do need to rinse it before and after use, which is simple.

Great product for regular algae maintenance. It fits well in the corners of my tank and removes algae without scratching the glass. Very convenient for daily cleaning.
