I'm sure I'm probably not the first one here to find this by any means, but figured I'd share this find anyway just in case. While doing some Christmas shopping at Harbor Freight I came across some 36" reach tools for $1.99 which I have been using for tank work. I use it all the time now for putting a fork with cucumbers for plecos in & out of my extra high angle tank. For $2 its a good thing to have for tanks if you have a HF around where you live http://www.harborfreight.com/36-inch-pickup-and-reach-tool-94870.html

I'll have to pick up one for my big tank. Relocating rocks would be a little easier with something like that.
For pleco feeding, for years I'd just tied some fishing line to a small rock and would rubberband the veggies to the rock.

It's strong enough to move small rocks, but I probably wouldn't use it for anything over about 4 lbs though Ron. You can somewhat "adjust" larger rocks with it, I have pushed some around in my 55g with it but just wouldn't try to pick them up. I've also found it useful in full contact cat MMA matches with my 15lb orange tabby ;D
