Veggie Clips - Anyone tried using one of these? (durability) - Aquarium Advice

scarf · 11-15-2005, 10:00 AM

Hi,

Just wondering if any1 out there have tried using the Julian Sprung's Sea Veggies Clips and the Seachem Vegie Clip. Both advertised at the same price, but wondering if any1 has tried one or both of them for durability (ie the condition of the suction cap over time)

Cheers.

PS I think Julian Sprung also goes under the name of "TLF"

I've used the Julian Sprung one and it was not very good. It rusted pretty quickly. We replcaed them with the Seachems and they are great so far. Since there isn't metal, they won't rust. As far as I can tell, it holds the vegs in place. The Julian has less "give". I'm assuming since it has metal springs.

I love my Magfeeder

It cost a bit more than the suction ones, but it is so sturdy; however, I cannot find who sells them. They used to be a sponsor here, but then left

If I can find where to get them, I will post.

The fish shaped ones that look like nemo from petco work great! although i had one for about 6 months and it finally broke and i just replaced it....lol, as long as it doesn't have any metal parts then you should be ok. See my attached pic.

My fish break every kind I get it seems. I gave up and use elastics to hold the veggies to rocks, driftwood, or ornaments.

I bought one of the fish shaped clips and the plastic spring broke as soon as I took it out of the package. I was pretty disappointed by that. I'd say try the Seachem clip.

I just bought one of the fish shaped ones yesterday, but I forgot to buy a zucchini today. I wonder if this will make my bristlenose come out during the day or if he will just hid upside down under his cave still...

I have the "Sea Veggies Clips" which don't have any metal and seem to be working fine.

THat happened to me once, but don't let that turn you off of them.. i took mine back and the one i have now ive had for 3 months. I think sometimes the plastic is fragile.. but sometimes they last pretty good.
