I made this neat little holder.
I was tire of getting my grabbes in the tank.
he fish love it and I made it short enought so that you could see it well in the middle of the tank.

I just melted and bent a long plastic bathroom scrubber in a u shape and then wire tired the old suction clip to the part that used to have the sponge on it.

It now just hangs over the edge of the tank,
I jut made sure when I heated the plastic and melted the handle, it was the right size to be snug on the side of the tank.

A bit cheesy, but works like a charm.
Beats the hell out of rubberbanding a rock all the time.

I take 2 od the freebies that came with the seaweed when I was buying it at inflated prices!!! Anyway get 2 clips and use a cable tie to link them together and clip one on your tank as the other floats!!

I made a deal similar to Mikeyboy's out of 1/2in. PVC. At the time I just used a rubberband to hold the nori to the pipe, but I think attaching the clip to it would work much better.

Here's an idea. What about super gluing a clip to the inside magnet of a glass cleaner. Its usually in the tankd anyway and you can take it out when necessary.

Alex has some great nori clips tat float if they come off the glass, also they have serrated teeth so they hold things really well, I put shrimp in mine as well as nori
