Aquapro Curved Scissors – Professional Aquascaping Tool (25 cm)
Product Description
The Aquapro Curved Scissors (25 cm) are an essential instrument for high-precision aquascaping and aquatic plant maintenance. While straight scissors are great for general work, these curved-blade scissors are specifically designed to excel in difficult-to-reach areas and for detailed pruning near the substrate.
The elegant curve of the blades allows the hobbyist to trim foreground "carpet" plants and mosses at a natural angle without the hand or handles interfering with the substrate or decor. Manufactured from professional-grade, rust-resistant stainless steel, these scissors ensure a clean, surgical cut every time, which promotes faster plant recovery and healthier growth.
Key Features and Benefits
Specialized Curved Design: Ideal for trimming carpeting plants (like HC Cuba or Monte Carlo) and reaching into tight corners or behind hardscape.
Precision Sharpness: Razor-sharp blades provide a clean cut that prevents crushing plant tissue, which can lead to rot or algae growth.
High-Grade Stainless Steel: Built to last with professional-quality, corrosion-resistant metal suitable for daily aquarium use.
Extended Reach: The 25 cm length offers a perfect balance between reach for medium-depth tanks and maneuverability for detailed work.
Ergonomic Grip: Designed to reduce finger and hand fatigue, even during long maintenance sessions in high-tech planted tanks.

Q: Why should I choose curved scissors over straight ones? A: Curved scissors are specifically designed for the "foreground" of your tank. The curve allows you to cut horizontally across the substrate while keeping your hand at a comfortable upward angle. They are essential for maintaining low-growing carpet plants.
Q: Can these be used to prune thick-stemmed plants? A: Yes, they are sharp enough for most aquatic stems. However, for very thick woody roots or thick-stemmed lilies, we recommend using these scissors closer to the pivot point for maximum leverage.
Q: How do I prevent rust on my aquascaping tools? A: While they are made of stainless steel, "stainless" does not mean "rust-proof." To keep them in top condition, always rinse them with tap water after use and dry them thoroughly with a clean towel before storing them in your tool rack or case.
Q: Are these safe for marine/reef aquariums? A: Yes. However, saltwater is much more corrosive than freshwater. It is vital to rinse and dry these tools immediately after every use in a marine environment to prevent pitting or corrosion.
