The only difficulty I have with a Eirobrace is putting algae clips/cages in. They don't float if you drop them and reaching under the Eurobrace is a big pia. Maybe someone has worked out a solution for this? Or does everyone just struggle like me?

Can you tie some fishing line on the end?

That's a good idea! Fish it out!
 
I made this one from an old Algaefree magnet set. I glued some TLF clips on there and it stays above water and I just slide it in and out to load it.

Yeah I may have to jerry-rig something. I'd love a magnetic clip that can attach topwise to the Eurobrace. Doesn't look like anyone has invented one of those yet!
