Algae Control

Algae Control for Aquariums, Ponds & Outdoor Surfaces:

Algae control products in this collection cover several different applications, from freshwater aquariums and ornamental ponds to outdoor surfaces affected by moss, mould, lichen and algae. The range includes liquid algae treatments, microbial pond treatments, aquarium scrapers and replacement pads and blades, alongside outdoor algae removers from Wet & Forget and One Step.

For aquarium care, API Algaefix is available in several sizes and is formulated to control algae in freshwater aquariums containing live fish and plants. It targets common problems such as green water algae blooms and is designed for ongoing algae control. Wunder aquatic algae remover provides another treatment option, with sizes ranging from 50mL through to larger 1L and 5L formats.

Aquarium Algae Scrapers & Cleaning Tools:

For algae attached to aquarium surfaces, the collection includes manual cleaning equipment as well as water treatments. Algae scrapers come in different lengths, including 15cm, 31cm and 46cm options, while API offers dedicated scrapers for glass and acrylic aquariums. Replacement scraper pads and blades are available in three-packs, along with aquarium algae cleaning pads.

Pond Algae Control:

Pond-specific products include API Pond Algaefix and API Pond Microbial Algae Clean. Pond Algaefix is designed for ornamental ponds and water gardens containing fish and plants, targeting green water algae, blanketweed and string algae. Sizes include 240mL and 480mL as well as a larger 1.89L format.

API Pond Microbial Algae Clean takes a biological approach, using bacteria to control green water algae while also helping address organic sludge and debris. The collection includes 473mL and 1.89L formats.

Outdoor Moss, Mould & Algae Removers:

For exterior household surfaces rather than aquatic environments, the range includes Wet & Forget Classic and Rapid Application products in ready-to-use, concentrate and refill formats, plus One Step Concentrate Algae Remover.

Choose algae control according to where the problem occurs. Aquarium and pond treatments have specific aquatic applications, while scrapers provide physical removal from tank surfaces and outdoor formulas are intended for exterior cleaning. Always match the product to the intended surface or aquatic environment and follow its directions carefully.
