Hello Ovas,
I'm looking to get some aquascaping tools. I need some good tweezers and scissors. As my plants grew a lot over the holidays! which is good!
Can anyone recommend some decent ones, that aren't too expensive and I can get in the Ottawa area or online?
Cheers,
Matt
In the Ottawa area, Big Al`s carry a few, Critter Jungle on Carling have a wide selection, can`t speak to the price or quality.
I was just browsing another Canadian forum i participate on and came across this set for sale.
If you are interested ,PM me.
Regards
Thanks for the replies guys. I think I will pass on that set thanks. I don't need so many scissors.

Just wondering if anyone has used candle wick trimmers as an aquascaping tool? I have a small 3.4 gallon tank and not have much maneuvering room to trim the plants. I thought this could be a good idea?
cheers,
Matt
You can try eyebrow scissors since you have such a small tank.
I got a dentist set at Princess Auto. All different types of picks, tweasers and scissors. That was a while ago but I imagine it is still cheap. (was under $20)
I got my scissors and tweezers at Pet Circus on Bank, they only had one of each and from the reaction from the staff on me buying them I am not sure they will have them again. The tweezers have a 60 deg angle on them and the scissors are straight.
Both are around 15 inches and cost about 36$ in total, not sure I would buy smaller then 15 inch.. I will want to buy more as my tank collection grows.
Sets on eBay are less and I would have gone for a set with a few different shapes if my plants didn't grow so fast. Now that I have been trimming a while I would like a few scissors, straight, 30 deg, curved and 90 deg.. and likely a straight tweezer as well. And I am 100% sure that the gravel racking tool is a soon purchase.
thanks for the replies! I hadn't heard of Pet Circus, I will go and check them out.
Cheers,
Matt
I second Critter Jungle on Carling Ave. Talk to Jason.
