Food clip alternatives

[msudvm97]

Currently using suction type food clips for the sheet algae to feed my Fox faces.
Are there any alternatives to having something attached to side of the
tank (suction cup or magnet).....something that I do not have to stick my hand into the water
every day. I thought about a weighted clamp with a string attached - but am not sure if the string
would pose a health threat to the fish in case the ran into it or got tangled up in it.
Any commercial products out there ?

I use a piece of rubble rock rubber band and these bad boys. I just place the rubble rock where my fox face and khole tang graze the most. Not the most ideal but it works

I had consider that.
I was also thinking about using a thin airline tubing attached to the clip..and a bit rubble to weigh it down. Then when the FoxFaces are done I can just pull up the tubing

I use this

when you pull it up to the top of the tank the pouch sticks out enough to grab without getting all wet. I also like that it forces my tangs to take smaller bites and they can't pull the whole sheet out to float all over the tank lol.

I rubber band the algae to a cheap magnetic glass cleaner and just stick it to the side of the glass. When changing it out I can slide it up to the surface and only get the tip of 2 fingers wet

Gourmet Grazer by Innovative Marine. It's a little pricey, but this thing is great. You can put as little or as much as you like in by folding or cutting sheets. Magnet is super strong and the tangs love to pick at it the same way they do with rock.

You can attach airline tubing to an air stone. They come in different sizes and are cheap.
