Wretched Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Hi, so my tang and all other fish are scared of algae clips with Nori attached to it... So I went to my LFS and asked what I could do.. he recommended these algae rings. The bag didn't have a brand name on them, so i'm not sure what they are? All I know is all my fish come and pick at it intermittently and the others wait for the floaters that come off it. My question is... How long can I leave this in my tank? Or should I leave it, shall I say? Maybe also someone can identify them maybe you have used them before... thanks! Link to comment
lkoechle Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I have these. You will need to take it out in a few hours or the thing will disintegrate and pollute the tank. Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I have a Tang and many other fish that like seaweed/Nori. I find rubber banding some folded up piece onto a small rock you can pull in and out easy works best, or a flat frag plug works too. remove any uneaten daily. I have these. You will need to take it out in a few hours or the thing will disintegrate and pollute the tank. you'll find on a rubble rock it won't disintegrate like it would on a clip. mine doesn't blow allover the tank, eats eaten fast enough i suppose too.

Ok, i'll try the rubber band method! Thanks guys. I'm against putting my hands in the tank. I did order an extended grabber thing; it should be here tomorrow... Just to confirm, you keep the nori in there all day and at the end of the light cycle remove whatever's left over? Link to comment
jamescstein Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I always start small. If they eat it all next time a little more. They don't it eat all, a little less. Also if you have the space in a fuge.. grow some dragon's breath as food. Your tangs will love it. Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I use a long grabber to move rocks, frags, etc. My tang and fish might want more but I never have any waste. The tangs stay busy picking algae all day. If I ever have to put my hands in I rinse my arm and hand under warm water then wipe with paper towels. Here's what I use. Mine came with different attachments. I've had this for years. Its sold under other names as well. http://www.amazon.com/KollerCraft-TOM-Aquatic-Gardener-Multi-Tool/dp/B0006JM0DK Link to comment
