    Joanna, can you see, I have my hand raised! I super glue my fingers all the time!
    And I’ll see you this weekend! I hadn’t even thought about Aquashella until I got an email from Aquarium Co-Op yesterday. I’ve now got tickets, airline, hotel, etc.! I saw Jason listed as a speaker, and you just confirmed you’ll be there, too. I might be slightly excited about this! Have an awesome week!

    Yay no more glue and crusty fingers that get stuck to scape lol and the comb idea I used for dwarf hair grass. Also use combs for removing rock wool. Been using your plastic soldiers idea too 👍 Thanks Joanna

    Oh the combs, elastics, and toothbrushes I have, but that root touch up brush...girl YES, how cool is that? Perfect size and angled right.
    Don't ever stop thinking out of the box and sharing with us what you find works well for our little small scapes. 😘

    'There are 2 different uses for a comb' (neither of which has anything to do with hair care). LOL! My people!!

  • @audrameyer9558
    @audrameyer9558 2 года назад +5

    I look at dollar stores so differently since I found you! 😊 All of these ideas are great. The root touch up brush is so awesome! Thin and perfect to get into little tight spots!

    Oh my goodness, the comb to clean out duckweed is genius! And easier to clean than a net.

    Lovin' it, will kinda look weird when I'm up at the register buying beauty products, however it wouldn't be the first time. lol Minor tip; there's a million ideas for bacterial surface area and cut up combs inside a mesh bag might be one of the best. My girlfriend does this in her puffer tank and I was surprised when she showed me. She bought an entire bag of cheap combs at Dollar Tree and used plier style wire cutters to clip them apart. 10 combs filled a whole bag. Each piece is about 3/4'' of an inch and lays flat in an HOB when fitting rings or other media is difficult for tiny HOB's. Another Dollar Tree find, rigid airline tubing is costly and hard to find, try balloon yard holders over on the party aisle. I saw then in black or white, they're 'just' larger than aquarium tubing but silicone style soft tubing will connect. Once in a while rigid tubing is very handy. 6 18'' pieces for a buck twenty five.

    Wouldn't a hair pick be great for a lot of that stuff, and maybe houseplants too?
    Soon setting up my first tank! A new obsession thanks to channels like yours.

  • @Camille3791

    Omg ok the comb one, genius! Also I was already using the tiny elsatics to attatch plants before they root themselves, it works great!

    I admire your creativity and imagination in using products for aqua care. I use hair picks to remove floaters in my nano tanks. It’s easier and more maneuverable for me to use.

    Holy cow!!! My mind is blown! How do you come up with it? Especially that spiral hair band for the sticks. I always glue my fingers and for some reason the glue still didn’t want to do what I wanted it to

  • @noelbrucker135
    @noelbrucker135 2 года назад

    Ever the source of handy tips! How did you even resist making any aquarium puns about roots and hair care (dwarf hair grass, hair algae, any root touch-ups in the tank). 😂😅 Off to the Dollar Tree again (like I need an excuse). Sure wish I were going to get to see you guys this weekend while we’re in Dallas 😢 Have an awesome time!

    • @thesmallscape

    Great ideas that you always come up with. I have a good idea for your container joy video. I bet you could make a really cool carnivorous bog garden. Just a thought. Miss your container joy videos.

    • @thesmallscape
      @thesmallscape  2 года назад +1

      Hi Tom, that would be fun. Thank you for that! Ya, I’m afraid no more videos on that channel, there’s just zero time available for it and I don’t want to take away any attention from this one. I will be bringing some land elements back into the small scape though. 🙂

    • @growclipbonsaiforseniors1951
      @growclipbonsaiforseniors1951 2 года назад

      @@thesmallscape I know that the water from the fish should not bother the carnivore. I wonder if you could landscape higher up into the aquarium and place a tropical pitcher plant there. If you can find a large pumice stone, that is an easy drill for Jason to do and has nice structure and absorbs the water so no watering. Can be like a mountain effect. Just thought it would be something different for the small scape. You can get tropical pitcher plant that would be perfect for the aquarium.

    Cool ideas. Do the spiral ties sink well? Could they work as an alternative to anchors/weights for stem plants, or better to go with the comb?

  • @marlapifer8329
    @marlapifer8329 2 года назад

    I'll give you another idea take an empty plastic spool of sewing thread, put it halfway down in your substrate and then stick your plants stems through the spoke holes to keep in place. LOL we should call it tips for a tight budget
