Default Keep the Seaweed from floating away

Any tips or tricks to feeding dried seaweed and keeping in from floating away. Currently using a small rock with elastic, but within 5 minutes the tang/angel tear it off and most of ends up floating up and into my overflow.

i find better than the clips is to wrap the nori around a piece of pvc several times and elastic it to the pipe, be sure to use good elastics and dont reuse them. this causes the tangs to graze the pipes through the layers as opposed to grabing a sheet to go that ends up in your powerhead or overflow teeth

That is the method I use, works great. I hang the PVC from my canopy and my tangs love it

Never needed to do this but I can see netting working just great...especially if certain fish are aggressive in pulling away large chunks. Similar to Goldilocks, find a netting not so small, no so large.
