Aqua One Easyreach Aquarium Tongs Large

Description

Easyreach Aquarium Tongs Large — 70 cm one-hand tongs for planting and placing decor without wet arms

Pushing a stem plant into gravel at the back of a deep tank usually means a wet sleeve, a cloud of mulm and fish scattering from an arm in the water. Easyreach Aquarium Tongs Large (SKU: 20036) are Aqua One’s 70 cm aquarium tongs, a one-hand tool with a strong grip at the tip for planting, moving small rocks and ornaments, and placing food on the bottom. The 70 cm length reaches the substrate of most home aquariums from above the rim, so hands stay dry and the fish are disturbed less. Aqua One describes them as a must-have tool for planting and maintaining aquatic plants and coral reefs.

Retailers list the Large tongs for planted tanks and saltwater aquariums, with uses that cover replanting, repositioning small rocks and ornaments, and feeding bottom-dwelling fish such as catfish, loaches and rays. The tongs are squeezed and released in one hand, leaving the other free to hold back plants or steady a rock. In a reef tank they place frag plugs and pick out debris among the rockwork without fingers going near stinging corals. The 70 cm Large suits standard tanks of up to roughly 50 to 60 cm deep; the Extra Large (SKU 20037) adds reach for taller aquariums and sumps. Rinse in fresh water after use, especially after marine work, and store dry.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Planting and replanting: Pushes stems and rooted plants into the substrate at the back of the tank.
• Moving rocks and ornaments: Shifts small pieces of hardscape without an arm in the water.
• Feeding bottom-dwellers: Places wafers or tablets right where catfish and loaches feed.
• Reef maintenance: Positions frags and removes debris among rock and coral.

How to Use

• Grip low on the stem: Hold a plant near its base so it goes into the substrate cleanly.
• Push and release: Push the tip into the gravel, open the jaws and draw the tongs out gently.
• Small loads only: Lift small rocks and ornaments; heavy pieces need hands and a drained tank.
• Rinse after use: Rinse in fresh water, particularly after use in saltwater, and store dry.
