Nori Nibbler is a New Way to Algae Clip

[Reef Builders]

The humble algae clip is one of the most important ways to feed seaweed to our herbivorous surgeonfish and reef fish but this accessory hasn’t enjoyed much attention from the DIY and creative types. The main question reefers have to ask themselves is whether to get an algae clip with a suction cup or a…

But is this "better" than conventional flat clips, or just more inconvenient to load?

Looks cool…just not for me. I’ll stick with my clip

40 and 55 dollars seems a bit steep for an algae clip here ….but who am I to say it’s not worth it.

Lots of stinky old seaweed left stuck to this I’m guessing. Not for me I don’t think.

I might try 3D printing the version on Thingiverse to see if tangs actually eat out the bottom holes. Cost about 70 cents. Lol.

How I feed Nori to my tank.
Much cheaper, cleaner and DON'T GET MY HAND WET.

Looks big and in the way, looks hard to reload, and totally unnecessary.

This, fold that stuff up. I fold it down one more time and put more in the clip itself so they cant rip it out.

If the fold is thick enough you get a strip in the clip they nibble at for the rest of the day.

The next morning when I reload my clip, I just put the piece of Nori In the clip that the fish cannot bite into the water and the fish finish them in short order.
100% of my Nori go into fish stomach. None to the snails or abalone or filter in the pump or filer

 

[Enderg60]

^Exactly what I do.

IIRC did this get blatantly stolen from someone else and now it's being widely marketed

It's innovative but sticks out too far. If anything it should be oriented with the length along the glass so it keeps the profile smaller. This reminds me of hair rollers. LOL

Just read through your thread. The transformation of the Powder Blue Tang is amazing. He looks like me after being at a buffet too long.

I put mine on a magnetic clip then cut it into strips with scissors so they tear off easily one at a time without big chunks being torn off. But in this hobby there have plenty of things that seemed overpriced just like this gadget that have made people serious money that in theory work great until the customer impulse buys it and it ends up in the instant regret bin all reefers have.

The pricing on this item is ridiculous IMO, you can 3d print those things for less than 3 bucks, why they got to GOUGE with 40- and 55-dollar price tags?

I'd consider trying this for 15 to 20 dollars US, but not those prices, they can keep them for that. My 2 cents!

I just found out about this type of feeder. There is a model on thingiverse I'm going to try.
