FYI: GLA Aquascaping Tools are on clearance!

[Brian_Nano12g]

Just found out that GLA is clearing out their high quality aquascaping tools. Made from tungsten steel.

For example, the nude and wave scissors used to be $50 earlier this year... now they're only $15!

I emailed them and spoke with Orlando. The reason they're on clearance is "We have a complete new tool line coming out We are really excited to say the least. All new tools across the board!"

I just picked up the 7" spring scissors, 8" wave scissors, and the Pincette - 12".

If you're on the fence for high quality tools, now is the time to snatch them up!

Question: To plant plants like DHG, cabomba, alternanthera reineckii, val americana "mini twister", staurogyne repens, dwarf hygro, and some others, will I need some of these tools?

You don't NEED them but it would make your life a lot easier.

 

[octanejunkie]

Yes, you need "some" tools

I use 11" tongs a lot, next scissors, almost any could work .

The longer tools make working in deeper tanks easier

So yes, at these prices, get some

 

[Fishperson]

Hmm... So I have some scissors, and I'm thinking I'll just use the ones I have, but for tongs, that would help to plant the DHG right?

And for the quick response guys!

You will definitely want tongs for DHG.

You will definitely want tongs for DHG.

I use tongs for EVERYTHING cause you can't get roots deep into the substrate without digging otherwise.

For $5 each get a few different shapes and sizes.

Also checkout substratesource on SCAPE, they have a great SS toolkit for $29

To bad they sold out on all of the curved spring scissors and normal curved scissors right away

Got a leaked photo of the 2014 GLA line of aquascaping tools. All are pictured but missing 4 other new tools (confirmed via PM with Orlando at GLA). Reported to have improved metallurgy and supposed "scary sharpness." I hope the prices stay reasonable for those who missed out on the fire sale on the old line.

 

[tropicalmackdaddy]

Huh well they sure don't look any different.

Perfect timing with ADA's new tool bag hehe

Yeah they look the same to me too... I guess they must be made by elves and glow blue when orcs and trolls are near by! Haha...
