Aquatic Algae Control

Aquatic Algae Control for Aquariums & Ponds:

Aquatic algae control products in this collection cover both freshwater aquariums and ornamental ponds, with options for treating algae in the water and physically removing growth from aquarium surfaces. The range includes API Algaefix and Pond Algaefix treatments, API Pond Microbial Algae Clean, Wunder aquatic algae remover, aquarium scrapers, algae pads and replacement scraper components.

For freshwater aquariums, API Algaefix is available in sizes from 37mL through to 473mL. It is formulated to control algae growth in freshwater aquariums containing live fish and plants, including green water algae blooms. Wunder aquatic algae remover provides another liquid treatment option, with formats including 50mL, 1L and 5L.

Aquarium Algae Scrapers & Cleaning Pads:

For algae growing directly on aquarium walls, the collection includes several manual cleaning options. Algae scrapers are available in different lengths, including 31cm and 46cm models, while API offers separate algae scrapers specifically for glass and acrylic aquariums.

Aquatic algae pads come in packs of three and are suitable for cleaning both glass and acrylic surfaces. Replacement scraper pads and replacement blades are also available in three-packs, allowing compatible cleaning tools to be maintained rather than replaced completely.

Pond Algae Control Treatments:

For ponds and water gardens, API Pond Algaefix is represented in 240mL, 480mL and larger 1.89L formats. The range also includes API Pond Microbial Algae Clean in 473mL and 1.89L sizes, providing a bacterial algae-control option for ornamental ponds.

The collection additionally includes API Algae Eater Wafers in 37g, 105g and 181g packs. These are fish food formulated for algae-eating fish rather than an algae treatment or cleaning product.

Choosing Aquatic Algae Control Products:

Start by identifying whether you are treating an aquarium or pond and whether the algae is suspended in the water or attached to a surface. Choose a treatment specifically intended for your aquatic environment, or a scraper or pad for physical cleaning. For aquarium scrapers, check whether your tank is glass or acrylic and select the appropriate tool for that surface.
