What types of algae can this cleaning razor scrape off? This scraper is strong, durable and sharp. It can cut through any algae that has uninvitingly decided to grow on your beautiful glass aquarium. Brown algae, green spot algae and the bacterial blue green algae all will disappear with a scrape from this razor, leaving your tank transparent and crystal clear for your fish and plant life. How often do I need to clean my tank with the scraper? To keep your aquarium clean and healthy, you will need to make sure everything is working harmoniously. This includes checking the nitrate and phosphate levels, maintaining your aquarium filter and making sure you have the correct lighting. This equilibrium is difficult to constantly maintain which may cause algae to grow on the walls or plants in your tank. We recommend cleaning your tank on a weekly basis to get rid of any algae and ensure that it doesn’t build up and get caked on. Note: After the combination of the two sections, the scraper will measure 17.7 inches, with three sections, it will measure 25.5 inches.
