[Delphinus]

I usually recycle the ones from LFS purchases too. I've used the larger ones sometimes but I'm not too keen on those since there's always a little bit under the elastic that doesn't get eaten (not that big a deal in the grand scheme of things I guess).

Also not really been a huge fan of clips because it's too messy. I used to feed that way; but ever since switching to rolled up nori over a pipe I've always thought this was a win because 1) it lasts 30 seconds longer 2) the fish get to eat all of it or close to all of it, as opposed to bits and pieces that escape and so on..

I was actually also kind of entertaining the notion of just not feeding nori anymore. I always used nori as a means to start a fish like a tang onto prepared foods but then keep up with it since they like it so much. But it would be pretty easy to compensate for the removed nori by feeding say more spirulina or gracillaria or even caulerpa which is easy enough to cultivate...

Maybe I'll just switch to thicker elastics for now until I have a bigger brain wave of an idea. I'm still tossing the idea around in my head of using some kind of hook based system and gutter guard .... hmmmmmm. We'll see, most of my DIY ideas usually don't end up going anywhere.
