Hi guys,
So I thought, what are the tools you use to maintain your tank that you would recommend other people to buy?
The one thing I have that I really like and use regularly other than the regular magnetic glass cleaners and gravel siphon is the Super Fish Aqua Tool.
The one I have is the one pictured above but there are also versions with other attachments such as plant forks and there are other brands of what look to be the same tool.
Anyway I find this tool particularly handy. The net itself is too small for an axolotl but is good for clearing out debris, especially since the handle is so long so you can reach to the bottom of the tank. The "blade" algae scraper I find is good for cleaning the back and side glass as with most of my tanks I can only clean the front glass with magnetic glass cleaners. The scrubber attachment, which turns 360 degrees is handy for cleaning some ornaments while they are in the tank as well as cleaning the glass. Now for the rake, well this is actually the part I use most often. My axies love to move the sand around and sometimes dig and block up the entrance to their hides with piles of sand, with the rake I can simply and easily just put the sand back to where I want it and even out the terrain again!
Anyway that's the one tool I have which I would recommend, hopefully it might help some of ye out. Is there anything you have that you would recommend to others?
