Nori Clip Alternative

[dailygrind81]

I'm currently using the Two Little Fishes nori clips on each side of my tank but I find that it gets real messy with pieces of nori floating around the tank. I usually take a sheet and cut it in fours then fold those down and clip them in the morning and at night. My Melanarus Wrasse loves to pick at it and sometimes it seems like he just likes to tear pieces off for the fun of it. Has anyone used different alternative clips (netted, Nori nibbler, etc) that doesn't create as much waste and floating nori all over the tank?

I’m mad ghetto. I fold the sheet in half, put one edge under the aquarium magnet, and move it where I want. Fish know to look for magnet and I don’t have to reach in tank a million times a day.

I have the clip as well as the two little fish pouch feeder that I got recently. The pouch feeder forces fish to take smaller bites of nori only where the holes are. After they got the holes eaten you can shake the magnet a bit to get any remaining nori to come loose.

fI you fold the sheet a couple times and then attach it to the magnet it should help prevent nori from going everywhere, it also helps with aggression between herbivores.

Also, the pouch feeder uses your same Two Little Fishies magnet so they cost almost nothing. I think a 4 pack of the pouches is around $6.

I love this magnet pouch.
I have aggressive fish - Niger trigger, Hardwicke wrasse, Bluethroat trigger, and desjardini tang.
I can fold up half a sheet of nori and squish it into the pouch and it holds up to the most aggressive bites from my meanies. I highly recommend this!

Thanks for all the prompt replies, I will try the pouch!

A little late to the party, but a tried a pouch and it worked great (b/c of the same issues with the clip). Good luck!

I have a piece of PVC pipe that stung monofilament through. I wrap the nori around it and secure it with some of the clear screen that was left over from building my lid, and a rubber band.

If you go to our Facebook page, saltwatersolutions LLC, you’ll see plenty of videos of people using the Nori Nibbler.
Thanks!

I use small marco rocks and rubber band quarter sheets of seaweed to each. This is how the fish graze naturally so they usually take to it like Oprah on a baked ham.

I have the TLF magnet, but I made my own pouches as I did not like the ones they provide. I just take some clear mesh (I use it to make my covers, so I have plenty). Cut into sizes that I want for the sheets, clip them in.

I no longer have issues with large floating pieces and more natural for the fish to pick small bits off.

I made pouches out of 1/4 inch mesh and fishing line. I fold the nori then cut strips but not all the way up and attach the pouch to a clip. That way the big guys only get the strip and not the whole piece when start ripping at it.
This is probably similar to the pouch mentioned above but I'm not familiar with that one.
