IceCap PRO Algae Scrubber Small: Clean Water, The Natural Way

The IceCap PRO Algae Scrubber Small uses algae—yes, that green stuff you usually curse—to clean your tank water naturally and efficiently. It's a plug-and-play solution for hobbyists who’d rather scrape algae than pour more additives or do another water change at midnight.

How the IceCap PRO Algae Scrubber Small Works (Without You Getting Soaked)

Algae are nature’s original filter. This scrubber lets you grow it on purpose—but in a controlled way that removes nitrates and phosphates before they can wreak havoc.

• Water flows through the scrubber using the included IceCap EVO pump

• LED lights on both sides of the screen help algae grow where you want it

• Algae absorbs excess nutrients, helping your tank stay stable and sparkling

• Built-in overflow protection keeps your floor (and your marriage) safe

Easy Setup of the IceCap Algae Scrubber, Even If You're Not Handy

Forget complicated plumbing. The IceCap PRO Algae Scrubber Small installs with minimal tools and maximum convenience.

• Includes feed pump and internal LED lighting

• Adjustable height bracket for flexible mounting

• Simple union joint lets you remove the screen in seconds

• Made of durable acrylic that holds up to daily reef life

Harvesting Algae with the IceCap Pro Algar Scrubber: Yes, It's Weirdly Satisfying

You'll need to clean the algae every 1–3 weeks depending on growth. Good news: it's oddly therapeutic.

Steps to Harvest:

1. Loosen the union and remove the top section with the screen

2. Rinse the screen under running water

3. Scrape off the thick green gunk—but leave a little behind for regrowth

Running the LEDs on a reverse daylight schedule (12 hours opposite your tank lights) helps stabilize pH and optimize growth.

Which IceCap PRO Algae Scubber Fits Your Tank?

Pick a size that matches your tank’s nutrient load—not just gallons. If you're feeding heavily or battling algae, size up.
