Why Use Seachem Algae Pads?
Algae and biofilm naturally build up on aquarium surfaces over time. Seachem Algae Pads make it easy to remove that buildup during regular tank maintenance, helping improve visibility and keeping the aquarium looking clean.
Because these pads clean without chemicals, they are a practical choice for aquariums with fish, shrimp, snails, plants, corals, and other sensitive aquatic life.
