hygger 6-in-1 Color Aquascaping Tools Kit

The hygger 6-in-1 Long Aquarium Aquascaping Tools Kit gives a small planted tank everything it needs in one case. It contains a 9.83 curved scissors, a 12.53 sand spatula, a 10.63 straight tweezers, a 10.53 curved tweezers, a 5.63x 23 acrylic tool holder and a 7.53x 7.53 cleaning cloth, plus a velvety storage bag.

Color stainless steel

The four tools are stainless steel finished with a color oxidation process. hygger uses it to resist rust and to give the set a distinctive look. The finish does not replace basic care, so dry the tools after use to keep them in good shape.

What each piece does

• Straight tweezers: plant stems, carpet portions and root tabs.
• Curved tweezers: reach behind hardscape or pick out debris.
• Curved scissors: thick blades for clean trims of stems and carpets.
• Sand spatula: level substrate and shape slopes.

The anti-slip tweezers also work for target feeding.

Holder and protective ends

The acrylic holder keeps the tools upright beside the tank and lets them air dry. Each pointed tool ships with a protective end cap; hygger asks you to keep them and put them back on after use to protect your hands when reaching into the bag.

Best for small tanks

hygger suggests the kit for small and mini fish tanks. In a deep tank, the 10-inch tools run short. For deeper reach, look at the EvaGO 15 inch curved tweezers. If you prefer a plain black finish, the hygger 4-piece black kit has nearly the same tools without the holder.

Who it suits

A tidy gift or starter set for nano aquascapers who like to keep tools on display. It also suits bonsai or terrarium work, as hygger points out. Plant with the tank partly filled, trim little and often, and wipe the tools dry before placing them back in the holder.
