What clip to use

[countryboy]

Just wandering what type of veggie clip everyone uses. My plastic one is crap, my big ole unicorn tang pulls out the nori on the first bite!

I use a rubber band on a small piece of live rock

I use the little fishes ones that has a magnet on it.

I also rubber band and rock it.

I'm going to have to try the rubber band trick since my tang herd most of the time rips my nori out of the clip also

[countryboy]

Rubberband sounds like a good idea except for having to retrieve the rock after each use.

+3 its a pita but works so much better than a Clip and seems more natural. All of my fish grab from it now whereas with clip just a couple did.

I use a magnetic clip. Like it because it floats to the top and is easy to remove and attach.

To stop my Tangs from ripping the nori from the clip, I fold it in many times before cliping it. So u end up with like a 1/2 inch wide nori.

I have about 3 rocks I use. 1 every other day. After the 3rd is cleaned off I use my grippers and fish them all out. Not really to much hassle

Make sure to use good thick rubberbands, some fish will break the smaller ones, especially if they have some use on them.. I too use the rock, works way better, and as mentioned above, I feel like its more natural.

I use a grid feeding clip. Works great and I don't have to go fishing for the rock.

The only thing I do is super glue the clip to a magnet float (small nano one) it holds better and easy to retrieve.

You can tie a fishing line on it and pull it out after an hour once it is cleaned off.

Thanks for the idea's folks, gonna give the rock a try. Mling I tried folding mine up also but I have a large unicorn tang that is a beast and it's no match for him!

Heh I just got a mental picture of my tank with a big rubble pile of rocks with rubber bands on them. I'm so lazy that I'd have like 15+ before I finally got in there and fished them all out.

I cut mine into thick strips leaving the middle whole so just the edges are frayed...seems to limit the mess of the strong fish and looks very natural on the rock

I fold the nori up and then cut it into strips. No matter what you use, a big fish will pull it out.

 

I go cheap with my clips - I buy a couple of clothes hangers with clips and either zip tie them to rocks and use fishing line to retrieve them or superglue them to mag floats.
