Any suggestions on who sells Aquascaping Tools. What Tools would you recommend that I get.



Thanks

An engineer's triangle (if you really need it), a pair of spring loaded plant snips from WalMart, a pair of long sharp pointed tweezers where ever you can find them, I got mine at Pearl Art. OR,,,, ADG in TX has the Amano set up for $$$. I think Arizona Aquatic Plants also has a set of some kind.

This set looks decent for the price

I got a set from Arizona Gardens for xmas. I'm not crazy about the shape of the tweezers. The angled end is too long and doesn't have a sharp enough point.



I like the tweezers that I use at Scales. Unfortunately, the company that sold them went out of business. The tweezers have a small curve and a sharp point. Very nice to work with.

I got a 10" pair of curved forceps at TFP for about $4 and 8" "soft coral cutting scissors (surgical scissors) for about $5 that I'm really happy with. They've held up well for years.

You might want to check surgical supply sites too. I think the surgical tools are much better quality than their aquarium hobby counterparts.

Cheers.

This was a link from an earlier post of mine. This is where I ordered several from and have been very happy with them and the cost is good.

Thanks

I didnt see any curved scissors on that site, they are nice to have for trimming smaller stem like Rotala and trimming foreground plants. I also have a straight pair like on Robs site that are nice for larger plants and thicker stems.
