I have to share this with all of you. I have gotten so much out of this site. I figured I could help someone else out. I have had nothing but problems with commercial clips. They break, they don't hold the nori, and they often fall off the tank.
The parts. Homax 5304 Locking Tarp Clips $8 for a 4-pack. I received one of these clips from Rogger's Reef Foods but the clip had no suction cup. So I took some suction cups that I save from Blue Zoo. Standard suction cup except it has a hole through the middle. And a heavy duty zip tie finishes off the parts.

Zip tie the clip through the suction cup and clip off the excess. This thing holds up to the beating of an 8' Sohal and has not come off without me removing it.

Also with some mesh (also from Roggers) this turns into a great feeder of Rogger's frozen food.
