Tweezers? Forceps?

[HawkeyeDJ]

I have a 24g AIO cube (18x18x18 inches). I'm looking to purchase something with long handles to avoid unnecessary hands in the tank. Often, I find my turbo snails upended or a frag plug has dislodged.

Any recommendations? Anything I should be forewarned about?

I got a long pair of the plastic grabbing dealys. Hands by far work the best. Gotta get wet though

I have those. They are useful but limited. But they are cheap enough. I find that you need a few different things.

I have a few powdercoated stainless forceps/tweezers. They are great, but after a year or so the powder coat started flaking off. So just be aware. I would still get them over non powder coated ones because you are just not going to get a good grade of stainless for cheap.

Check on amazon for long tongs or tweezers, thats where I get mine.

A small wooden, or acrylic dowel works perfectly for flipping over snails.

Long tongs/forceps made to feed lizards(zoomed brand) works well and are a decent stainless that will last a few years before they rust.
