DOOA Hand Spray

DOOA

DOOA Hand Spray A precision long-nozzle misting bottle engineered for targeted watering of terrarium and paludarium plants. The Hand Spray includes an integrated ion-exchange resin chamber that softens tap water, reducing limescale buildup on glass, foliage, and delicate plant structures. Key Features: - Long Nozzle: Allows precise spray delivery to specific plants or areas without disturbing surrounding substrate or hardscape - Fine Mist: Adjustable nozzle (or consistent spray pattern, depending on model) produces a gentle mist suitable for delicate leaves and mosses - Ion-Exchange Resin Chamber: Built-in softening system removes calcium and magnesium ions, preventing white mineral deposits on glass and plants - Ergonomic Trigger: Comfortable for extended use during maintenance sessions - Durable Construction: Designed for long-term use in humid terrarium/paludarium environments How the Resin Works: The ion-exchange resin inside the Hand Spray replaces calcium (Ca²⁺) and magnesium (Mg²⁺)—the minerals responsible for limescale—with sodium (Na⁺) or hydrogen (H⁺). This softened water evaporates without leaving visible white residue on glass or leaf surfaces. Applications: - Daily or bi-daily misting of terrarium plants (ferns, mosses, small orchids) - Spot watering in paludariums to supplement automated misting systems - Hydrating Wabi-Kusa mats and emersed aquatic plants - Cleaning glass panels (softened water won't leave streaks or mineral spots) - Applying foliar fertilizers (mix with DOOA WABI-KUSA Mist or similar) Usage Instructions: 1. Fill with Water: Remove the top and fill the reservoir with tap water 2. Softening (Automatic): Water passes through the ion-exchange resin chamber as you spray, softening it instantly 3. Mist Your Plants: Aim the long nozzle at target plants and squeeze the trigger for a fine mist 4. Refill as Needed: When empty, refill and continue—no priming or special preparation required Resin Replacement: - Frequency: Replace the ion-exchange resin when you notice limescale returning (typically every 1–3 months depending on water hardness) - How to Replace: Follow DOOA instructions to access the resin chamber. discard the old resin and insert a fresh pack (check DOOA for replacement resin availability) Why Softened Water? Hard tap water leaves unsightly white deposits on terrarium glass and plant leaves. On foliage, these deposits can block stomata (the pores plants use for gas exchange), reducing photosynthesis and overall health. On glass, they obscure your view and require frequent scrubbing. Softened water eliminates both problems, keeping your display pristine with minimal effort. Maintenance: - Weekly: Rinse the nozzle to prevent clogging from mineral buildup or algae - Monthly: Empty and rinse the reservoir. refill with fresh water - Seasonal: Replace the ion-exchange resin. inspect the trigger mechanism for wear Compatibility: - All DOOA terrariums and paludariums (System Paluda 300/600, CELL, Glass Pot MARU, etc.) - Custom terrariums and vivariums - Wabi-Kusa and emersed aquatic plant displays Pro Tip: Combine the Hand Spray with DOOA WABI-KUSA Mist (foliar fertilizer) for a complete manual care routine. Fill the spray bottle with softened water, add a few drops of WABI-KUSA Mist, and mist your plants 2–3 times per week to boost color and resilience. Specifications: - SKU: 156-204

DOOA Scissors Curve 170

DOOA

DOOA Scissors Curve 170 — SKU 156-004 Compact curved stainless steel scissors engineered for precision trimming in small aquariums, paludariums, and terrariums. The 170 mm length and curved blade profile make these scissors ideal for detail work—trimming foreground carpets, navigating tight corners, and pruning delicate emergent stems. Key Features: - Length: 170 mm (compact size for nano tanks) - Blade Profile: Curved tips for accessing tight spaces and cutting at angles - Material: Stainless steel (rust-resistant, aquarium-safe) - Edge Quality: Sharp, precision-ground blades for clean cuts without crushing stems Applications: - Trimming carpet plants (Glossostigma, Monte Carlo, Dwarf Hairgrass) in foreground areas - Pruning in corners and hard-to-reach spots - Cutting emergent stems and delicate moss in paludariums - Detail work in small aquascapes (≤30 cm width) - Maintaining Wabi-Kusa balls and terrarium plantings Why Curved Blades? Curved scissors allow you to approach plants at an angle, reaching under leaves or into corners that straight scissors can't access. The curve also helps when trimming carpets—you can skim horizontally across the substrate, removing only the top layer of growth without disturbing roots. This is particularly valuable in foreground areas where you want to maintain density while controlling height. Cutting Technique: - Carpets: Hold the scissors parallel to the substrate and trim in a sweeping motion, removing the top 1–2 cm of growth - Corners: Angle the curved blades into tight spaces, using the tips to snip individual stems - Emergent Plants: Cut just above a node or leaf junction to encourage branching Maintenance: - Rinse thoroughly after each use to remove plant sap and debris - Dry completely before storage to prevent corrosion - Sharpen blades annually (or as needed) with a fine sharpening stone or send to a professional - Lubricate the pivot point with a drop of mineral oil if the action becomes stiff Comparison to Straight Scissors: - Curved (170 mm): Better for carpets, corners, and angled cuts

DOOA Tweezers 175

DOOA

DOOA Tweezers 175 — SKU 156-104 Reliable stainless steel tweezers built for precise planting and maintenance in small aquariums, paludariums, and terrariums. The 175 mm length and spring-loaded design provide accurate control, allowing you to place delicate plants and adjust hardscape with minimal substrate disturbance. Key Features: - Length: 175 mm (ideal for nano tanks and desktop displays) - Material: Stainless steel (corrosion-resistant, aquarium-safe) - Tip Design: Fine, tapered tips for gripping small stems, roots, and delicate structures - Spring Tension: Moderate spring force—firm enough for control, light enough to avoid hand fatigue Applications: - Planting small stem plants (Rotala, Bacopa, Ludwigia) - Positioning carpet plant plugs (Monte Carlo, Dwarf Hairgrass) - Inserting moss into hardscape crevices - Adjusting small stones or driftwood pieces - Removing debris or algae from tight spaces - Handling Wabi-Kusa plants without damaging roots Planting Technique: 1. Grip the Plant: Hold the stem or root bundle gently between the tweezers' tips—don't crush 2. Position: Lower the plant into the substrate at the desired location 3. Insert: Push the plant 1–2 cm into the substrate with the tweezers 4. Release & Withdraw: Open the tweezers and slowly pull them out, leaving the plant anchored 5. Firm the Substrate: Use the tweezers' side to gently press substrate around the plant base Advantages Over Fingers: - Longer reach into the aquarium without submerging your entire hand - Finer control for small, delicate plants - Avoids disturbing substrate or cloudiness when planting - Reduces risk of crushing stems or roots - Keeps your hands dry (important for emergent setups where you're alternating between wet and dry zones) Maintenance: - Rinse after each use to remove plant sap and substrate particles - Dry thoroughly to prevent rust - Check tip alignment periodically—if the tips become misaligned, gently bend them back into position - Lubricate the spring mechanism with a drop of mineral oil if it becomes sticky Comparison to Longer Tweezers: - 175 mm (DOOA): Better control and precision for nano tanks
