Cleaning sponge AQUA DELLA Cleany pad for aquariums, blue, 13×9×2.5 cm

AQUA DELLA Cleany pad for aquariums is a compact blue cleaning sponge measuring 13×9×2.5 cm designed for routine maintenance of freshwater and marine tanks. The pad is shaped for handheld use and intended to wipe aquarium glass, remove soft algae and clean decorations and hard-to-reach corners without applying excessive pressure. Its size and profile make it suitable for targeted scrubbing during regular water changes and spot cleaning sessions.

Advantages

The CLEANy pad provides a balance of gentle abrasion and surface protection, allowing removal of common algae and film from tank walls while minimising the risk of scratching glass or acrylic when used correctly. Its compact dimensions make it easy to hold and manoeuvre, and the sponge construction dries quickly after use. The blue colour helps visibility in water and during storage, and the pad’s form supports precise cleaning around ornaments and equipment.

Suitable for

• Wiping aquarium glass and acrylic surfaces to remove algae and biofilm
• Cleaning ornaments, rocks and artificial decorations
• Targeted spot cleaning during routine maintenance
• Use in both freshwater and saltwater aquaria

When it may not be suitable

This sponge is intended for routine manual cleaning and light-to-moderate algae removal. It may not be effective on very hard, calcified deposits, heavy encrustations or rust stains. For stubborn mineral buildup or deeply embedded growths, stronger mechanical tools or chemical treatments designed for aquarium use may be required. Extra care is needed on soft or easily scratched acrylic surfaces; test on a small area before broader use.

Key specifications

• Dimensions: 13 × 9 × 2.5 cm
• Form: handheld rectangular sponge pad

How to use

Rinse the Cleany pad in aquarium water before first use. Hold the pad with a firm but comfortable grip and move it across the glass or acrylic surfaces using short, even strokes to remove algae and film. For decorations and corners, apply targeted scrubbing while supporting the ornament to avoid dropping it. Rinse the pad in tank water between passes to avoid re-depositing debris. After cleaning, rinse thoroughly with clean water, squeeze out excess moisture and allow to air dry away from direct sunlight.

What to consider before purchase

• Not designed for removal of heavy mineral deposits or rust; specialised tools may be required
• Use caution on acrylic surfaces; test in an inconspicuous area first
• Regular maintenance reduces need for aggressive cleaning and prolongs pad life

Usage recommendations

Use the AQUA DELLA Cleany pad during routine water changes for best results; store dry between uses and replace when the abrasive surface becomes worn to maintain effective, scratch-free cleaning.
