Nori sitting in tank

Nori just sitting in the tank. Does that cause ammonia spike?

Doubtful any significant or noticeable increase. How much Nori are you talking about

Quarter of a sheet, but my fish rip it off and it floats in the water

I have noticed that any nori still in the clip at days end can start to smell pretty bad. I remove any uneaten nori before lights out, if it's floating, it won't last long with my tangs.

If the fish aren't going after it while it's floating, you may be feeding more than necessary.

It will rot and be a source of nutrients but no need to worry about a big ammonia spike.

It’s floating because they rip it off lol. I guess it’s the way I put it on the clip. But they’ll go back to the clip for more. They don’t do floating nori lol

I've always ignored it. It eventually gets eaten or breaks down into nitrate/phosphate which my tank could handle. If your nutrients are out of control, remove it before it starts breaking down.

I use a little beaker to get it out the tank when it floats to the top

That works, no need to worry about ammonia.
