Aquascape tools

Hey guys I'm trying to find an aquascape tool set. Meaning tweezers, scissors and gravel take etc. I bought one on eBay and waiting 7 weeks but never showed so now want to buy from Australia or a store. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.

@Duke The two most important, at least for me, would be the tweezers and the scissor. I recently got the two Sera special from Tech Den and think they're great for the price. Size is good also even if you have a shallow tank because it means no getting your hands in the tank - http://www.thetechden.com.au/searchresults.asp?Search=sera+tool

newbreed also has a great selection! - https://newbreedaquatics.com.au/planted-tanks/aquascaping-tools

Gravel tool - seriously go to Bunnings and just get a paintbrush - cheap and does the same thing! That's what I use.

Curved scissors and curved tweezers aren't really needed but can assist with carpet trimming and planting respectively.

Hope that helps ?

For ebay, don't wait too long beyond the end of the shipping date - if you complain, they will often refund/resend/etc, but only if you complain on time.

      It has been a few weeks now and I have done a couple of large water changes. I tested the water parameters this morning, GH6 and KH2, TDS 140 and PH 7.5. Obviously the PH is off but there isn't anything in the tank that should cause the PH to rise to this figure so I will just run the tank for another month with 10% weekly water changes (probably just with RO water) and see where we are at that point. The RO water tests at PH6, and the KH and GH in the tank could come down as they are at the upper limits for Caridina shrimps! There are only about 10 very small snails in there at this point, but they seem to be doing well enough.

      I believe these to be very rare in Australia so you may even consider making it a longer term plan and produce your own by starting with the best CRS you can get as that is where the pure lines started! Depends how patient and interested in the project you are, but would save money as well? If I recall correctly it takes from 8 generations of selective breeding? They sell them at micro aquatic shop but do not ship to Western Australia, but that means they are available in Australia. https://microaquaticshop.com.au/products/pure-red-line-grade-ss-shrimp Good luck and just maybe smeone on here may point you in the right direction or be able to supply you with some.

      Yes it’s super accurate to position where I want now and stay there- I am satisfied.  All the fish and shrimpers are doing excellent! Coming up on 4 years running!

      You must be pleased with that, it looks better and is much more robust and less likely to damage or leaks! The tank looks very natural now it has been running for a time. I see the ember tetras, how are the blue shrimp doing, I see a few? The cat and dog look very content and unimpressed, lol.
