Miscellaneous

Diamond Tipped Hole Cutter 25mm (1") Ø
Suitable for glass.

A new page has been set up for these hole saws.
See 'Diamond Tipped Drills' in the left hand menu.

If you are considering making up tanks for system filtration or flow through this piece of kit will drill holes in glass up to 35mm thick. All you need is a drill & stand. I've drilled loads of holes in glass - it's not as hard as you think.
Just put a ring of plasticene around the hole site & fill with cold water to lubricate.

We can stock most sizes from 3mm (1/8th") up to 125mm (5") within a week. Please contact us with the size you require.

Mop colours can vary to include black or blue which have proved useful for killifish as eggs can easily be seen.

Spawning Mops - 100 turns (200 fibres from tie).

Ideal for collecting eggs of Killifish or Rainbows. Other uses include fry hideaway & filtration. Masses of surface area for nitrifying bacteria to coat. Mops can be dropped in to sink, float by trapping a couple of fibres in the tank lid or use in corner filters as a filtration medium which outlasts the life of filter wool.

Made from 100% safe fibres & dyes. I use loads of these in my fish house.

Plastic Pipettes

I couldn't do without these in my fish house. I use them for:-

  • Feeding newly hatched brine shrimp to small containers.
  • Cut the end back to a thicker part & suck up detritus from fry containers.
  • Suck up fry from egg hatching containers to introduce to fresh containers (some sp. fry if hatching a few days previous will eat newly hatched fry).
  • Seperating bad eggs in my killie egg trays.
  • Measuring & adding medicines. OK, I lie. I haven't seen a sick fish in my fish house for ages. Must be the good foods.
