Is the Seachem Algae Scraper safe to use on acrylic aquariums? Typically, acrylic aquariums scratch a lot more easily than glass aquariums. This means that traditional algae scrapers that use metal blades are a no-go, but thanks to the Seachem Algae Scraper’s switchable head it’s completely safe to use on acrylic aquariums. To use the Seachem Algae Scraper on an acrylic aquarium, simply switch the metal blade with the soft cleaning pad and start scrubbing. You can also use the plastic blade on acrylic aquariums but be careful not to apply too much pressure or you may scratch your acrylic.
