Seachem DuoPad

What is the Seachem DuoPad?

The Seachem DuoPad is a non-scratch, dual surface algae cleaning pad for glass and acrylic aquariums. The melamine foam side uses micro abrasive technology to easily remove algae from the sides of your aquarium, while the durable scrubbing side allows you to attack the rougher grooves of rocks and driftwood.

It is particularly effective at removing algae from scratches on your glass and acrylic surfaces. It is chemically inert and does not use soaps or detergents. It's white color also contrasts against dark algae, making it easier to see when areas are fully clean.

What is melamine and how does it work?

Melamine foam is incredibly effective abrasive cleaner. It has a microstructure as hard as glass, but because of its open-cell structure it remains flexible. It performs on stains a lot like extremely fine sandpaper. In the aquarium, it easily removes algae by scraping with its extremely hard microscopic filaments.
