What Marina haven't confirmed

Marina don't give a handle length or pad material on this card, so if reach or a specific pad type matters for your tank size, that detail isn't confirmed here. Always check a scrubber is rated for acrylic specifically before using it, since some pads that are fine on glass will scratch acrylic.

Why we chose it

A reinforced handle is the detail that actually matters here — a flimsy one flexes exactly when you're pressing into a corner, which is when you need it least. The angled head is also a genuine design difference from a plain flat pad.

Specifications

Brand: Marina

Full description

Algae on the inside of a tank wall doesn't come off with a quick wipe — it needs something that can actually get into the corners without scratching acrylic or leaving your hand wet to the shoulder.

Marina's Algae Scrubber has a long, reinforced plastic handle and an angled cleaning head, designed to improve control and pad-to-surface contact while reaching awkward spots in a tank. Marina say it's suitable for glass and acrylic aquariums.
