Description

EHEIM rapidCleaner Blade Algae Scraper

The EHEIM rapidCleaner is a professional-grade glass scraper built around a rustproof, precision-cut blade with an 8cm working width. It's fast enough for daily maintenance and durable enough for shop and trade use — with a shatterproof fibreglass handle and integrated silicone edge protection that keeps the blade from cutting into your tank's silicone seams.

Choose the Right Handle Length

The rapidCleaner is available in three handle lengths so you can reach the full height of your aquarium without submerging your hand past the wrist:

Handle length Best for tank depth Blade width
25 cm Up to ~20 cm — nano & desktop tanks* 8 cm
48 cm Up to 40 cm 8 cm
58 cm Up to 50 cm 8 cm

*Estimated based on proportional scaling; please confirm against packaging before relying on this figure for very shallow tanks.

No Tools, No Rust, No Scratched Silicone

The blade snaps in and out without any tools, so replacing a worn blade takes seconds. The blade itself is rustproof and precision-cut for a clean scrape on the first pass, while a built-in silicone strip along the blade edge protects your tank's seams from accidental damage — a common risk with unprotected metal scrapers.

Why It's a Maintenance Staple

  • 8cm blade width covers more glass per stroke than standard scrapers
  • Rustproof, precision-cut blade for long-term durability
  • Integrated silicone edge protection guards your silicone seams
  • Tool-free blade replacement
  • Shatterproof fibreglass handle
  • Compatible with interchangeable heads: algae brush and cleaning pad (sold separately)
  • Suitable for freshwater and marine aquariums

Frequently Asked Questions

Which handle length should I pick?

Match the handle to your tank's water depth, not its footprint: 48cm for tanks up to roughly 40cm deep, 58cm for tanks up to roughly 50cm deep, and 25cm for shallow nano or desktop setups.

Is it safe for acrylic aquariums?

No — the metal blade is designed for glass. It is not suitable for acrylic or plastic tanks, as it can scratch the surface.

Can the blade be replaced?

Yes, replacement blades are sold separately and swap in without any tools.

What other attachments fit the handle?

An algae brush and a cleaning pad are available as separate accessories and fit the same interchangeable head.
