The BorneoWild Wave Cutter - trim foreground plants with less effort

Posted by Green Leaf Aquariums | Aquascaping Tools | Tuesday 13 April 2010 7:02 pm

The BorneoWild Wave Cutter makes trimming your foreground an effortless task. The unique angeled shaft and curved tip of this cutter makes it ideal for trimming small foreground plants such as Hemianthus Callitrichoides ‘Cuba’ (HC) and Glostigma.

We have included some pictures below of these awesome cutters in use, shown trimming up a thick carpet / lawn of HC. With straight or curved tip scissors, HC can be particularly challenging to trim evenly and attractively. For this reason, the wave cutter was designed, to improve the trimming of these plants with little effort involved. The cutter, with its well designed and well proportioned loops, allows you to place your fingers comfortably, and cut easily with control.

New Cal Aqua Labs Double Drop Checker

Double Check 2 CO2 Checker

Cal Aqua Labs’ “Double Check” series is the only all-glass dual-compartment CO2 checker that allows the user to accurately compare the CO2 level in your aquarium side-by-side against a standard reference.  The top chamber holds the CO2 indicator solution, whereas the bottom chamber carries a CO2 reference solution. The reference solution color corresponds to 30 ppm of CO2 - a level that is widely accepted for good plant growth in most aquariums.

No more guessing on the shades of green. No more looking back-and-forth at color sheets to compare. You know the precise CO2 level simply by comparing the colors in the two compartments side-by-side. Don’t guess, be sure! It’s as simple as that.
