veggie clips

So my questions is how long do you leave them in your tank? I just got a filefish and he along with a tang will pick and eat from the clip whenever they want to eat. It's been in the tank for 2 days now and even though it looks fresh i cannot help but feel like i need to pull it. I currently have a piece of lettuce on it. Perhaps i put to much? I'm sure i did but even with a smaller piece, how long should i leave it in? Thanks for any advice.

i guess it depends on the amount that is usually eaten by the fish. I usually just stick a 4''x4'' piece on my clip and leave it until it's gone.

I modified mine to slow feed my tangs. One 12x12 sheet now last 3-4 days. Where before they would shred it and pollute the tank.

Eckolancer that's a pretty interesting mod. I like the way it floats into the tank instead of being all up on the glass. For now I'll use less food on mine. Where did you get yours from?

I leave mine in for 24 hours and then pull out whatever wasn't eaten.

It was a TLF mag veggie clip that the clip broke off of. I was trying to find a way to keep tangs fed for a few day while I went out of town. I saw this ring binder made of plastic and thought I would roll a sheet of algae in it and see if it would work. Also got lucky and it clips right in place of the old veggie clip.
