API Algae Control

API Algae Control & Aquarium Care:

API algae control products in this collection cover three distinct parts of aquarium care: treating unwanted algae growth, physically removing algae from tank walls, and feeding algae-eating fish. The range includes API Algaefix in several bottle sizes, dedicated algae scrapers for glass and acrylic aquariums, and API Algae Eater Wafers in multiple pack sizes.

API Algaefix for Freshwater Aquariums:

API Algaefix is specifically developed to control many types of algae in freshwater aquariums containing live fish and plants. It is designed to control green water algae blooms and can be used as part of an ongoing aquarium maintenance routine, with weekly dosing recommended for controlling algal growth.

The collection includes Algaefix in 37mL, 118mL, 237mL and 473mL sizes, allowing you to choose a bottle according to your aquarium and expected usage.

API Algae Scrapers for Glass & Acrylic Tanks:

Algae growing directly on aquarium walls requires a different approach. The collection includes separate API algae scrapers designed specifically for glass or acrylic aquariums. Both feature strong 18-inch handles, helping you reach into the aquarium while keeping your hands further out of the water.

Choosing the correct scraper for your aquarium material is important. Select the glass version for glass aquarium walls and the dedicated acrylic scraper for acrylic tanks rather than treating the two surfaces as interchangeable.

API Algae Eater Wafers:

API Algae Eater Wafers are fish food formulated specifically for algae-eating fish and are available in 37g, 105g and 181g packs. The wafers contain a blend of algae, Omega 3 fatty acids and alfalfa, providing fibre alongside a nutritionally enhanced protein formula designed for efficient nutrient uptake.

Choosing API Aquarium Algae Products:

Start with the purpose of the product. Choose Algaefix when you need a freshwater aquarium algae treatment, an API scraper when algae needs to be physically removed from tank walls, or Algae Eater Wafers when selecting food specifically formulated for algae-eating fish. For scrapers, always match the tool to whether your aquarium is glass or acrylic.
