These pads work very well on my 55-gallon tank. I used them to clean the sides after a heavy algae bloom. The white color makes it easy to see where algae is still present. No residue, and the tank looks much cleaner after a few uses.

I’ve used these for several months now and they’ve become a go-to for algae maintenance. They don’t scratch the glass and remove algae efficiently. Great for regular cleaning without disturbing the fish or water balance.

They clean well and are easy to use. The only thing is they get worn out after a few uses, so I need to replace them every few months. Still, very effective for routine algae removal.
