These pads work very well on both glass and acrylic tanks. I used them on a heavily algae-covered side wall and they removed the buildup without scratching the surface. The white color makes it easy to see where algae remains. No residue, no chemicals, just effective cleaning.

I’ve tried several algae removers before, but these are the most effective and gentle. They don’t damage the tank surface and clean thoroughly. The texture is just right for scrubbing without leaving marks.

Good product for regular algae maintenance. Works well on smooth surfaces, but a bit harder on heavily built-up algae. Still, no scratches and no chemical residue. Would recommend for daily use.
