Aquarium Cleaning

We stock a range of aquarium cleaning tools to help keep your tank looking its best, from algae sponges and glass pads to gravel cleaners in different sizes for smaller and larger tanks. Brush sets make light work of cleaning tight spots like filter pipes and impellers, while a good gravel cleaner doubles up as a water changer, lifting debris out of the substrate as you go. A few simple tools like these make regular maintenance much quicker.

Rinse sponges and pads in old tank water rather than tap water, so you don't kill off any beneficial bacteria living on them. A gravel cleaner is worth using at every water change, even in a well-maintained tank, since debris builds up in the substrate over time. Keep separate tools for the tank and anything used outside it, like ornaments or the outside of the glass, to avoid introducing anything unwanted. Not sure which tools you need?
