Planted Tank Toolkit

[scottca]

Hi All,

After replanting my tank with no tools (a nightmare!) I decided it was time to invest in some good equipment to make my life easier !

Was looking at the Toolkit over at AE

http/www.aquaessentials.co.uk/index.php?...roducts_id=1586

Has anyone used this toolkit? Are they good? Are there any alternatives?

I did find some old posts relating to the same topic, but some of the links were out of date and I know new products appear etc so am reposting

Regards,

Craig

£40 for a bunch of tools you can buy much cheaper elsewhere, build your own tool kit, buy it individually and keep them just for your tank

the individual ones are not as good quality, there is some scissors that when using it cuts your fingers. Also, they dont give a clean cut but rather snap the stem which isnt good.

if you are serious about plants then go for it.

I think i could make up a kit that would do the job perfectly for way cheaper than that kit, it would not look as nice but it would proberly do the job just as well, i must say i have no experience with that product, i am just saying its easy to build up your own kit

Thanks for your input all, I have been keeping a high tec planted tank now for about 6 months, whilst its nowhere near as good as you pro's im definately commited and keen to carry on the hobby

Think ill look at both options, the make it yaself kit is appealing but im also a sucker for just buying things like that Whatever I choose ill come back and let you know how I get on (Whether it being review of the kit or which parts I got from where)

If there is anymore tips please keep them coming & if anyone has used this kit before, could you let me know what its like?


PS - Aaron, Thanks for the links for the ukaps kit, ill send a PM to see if they have any left
