Algae Attack Pack for Marine Aquariums
Algae Attack Packs are designed to establish a natural means of controlling algae growth, along with maintaining crystal-clear water in marine aquariums. The number of cleaners in each package is based on our years of experience, and is tailored to provide enough cleaning power for the size of aquarium that you are maintaining.
Algae Attack Pack is a formidable offense that will put algae on the run. Filamentous (hair algae) is mowed down by the hermit crabs, and film algae is wiped away by the snails. All of the members of this pack will also attack various microalgae (including cyanobacteria) that may be found in the aquarium.

Caroline Sutherland –
The algae in my 30-gallon tank has reduced significantly since adding this pack. The snails and crabs are active and seem to enjoy their environment. No issues with compatibility with my existing fish.
Anthony Nolan –
Works well for film and hair algae. The snails are busy cleaning glass and rocks. A little slower than expected with cyanobacteria, but still effective.
Austin Graham –
Great natural solution. The hermit crabs are active and the snails keep the glass clean. I didn’t need to add chemical treatments after introducing this pack.
Lily MacDonald –
The shrimp and snails are present and active, but the crabs are shy and not very mobile. Algae reduction is noticeable but not dramatic.
