i just changed how i do my nori
i got ****ed at the magnet clip that scratched my glass. its a nori clip with a magnet on it.
so here is what i did
I have a mesh screen with about 2 inches that is un covered where the returns go in. i took a piece of rope used for tieing up meat for cooking and tied it to my nori clip.
i tied the rope to the leg of my light fixture and then i hung the nori clip over the return line so it just hangs right in the middle of the tank about 6 inches away from the glass and the rope is not long enough to get flung up into the glass (basically didnt want to touch the glass)
this was all good until i noticed i was a noob and the nori clip floats (doh!) so i took a very small pebble of live rock and clipped it on the nori clip until it sank. once i knew how much live rock i needed which was very very small, i took some of that putty stuff you use to attach frags and molded it around the rock inbetween the clip area so the rock was not exposed at all just in case it hit the glass.
now it takes me all of 4 seconds to attach nori and the fish like it because its in open space and it seems alive since it moves, lol. you should see my lawnmower blenny swing from it.
anyways let me know if you want a pic, i can take one tomorrow when i throw some nori in.
i have a nothing touches my glass rule now. this stupid nori clip with the magnet and my small frag rack have scartched two ends of the glass and ****ed me off.
