I use fishing line to hold a 4" piece of 1/2" PVC. I roll the nori over the clip so that the tangs have to graze the nori instead of mow the nori. I used a clip for a few years until I noticed a huge difference in how fat my tangs were at the time compared to the tangs of those who fed them by rolling the nori over a pipe instead. Now people tell ME I have fat tangs and I'm all "Thanks! It's the rolled up nori that's the secret."

The problem is holding it down to the PVC, I criss cross an elastic over top of the nori and that works except that the elastics only last a few days for me. If I'm lucky, it breaks when I put it on and I just replace it. But otherwise it ends up in the tank or apparently in a tang.

Hmmm I wonder if O-rings would work better. Two of them, one on each edge and just roll it onto the nori. Might have to give that a whirl..
