Algae clip with suction cup?

[stingythingy45]

I'm growing tied of algae clips with suction cups.Eventually the suction cup fails to work.It basically sucks in a bad way.Do they make any algae clips that hang on the side of the tank?I'm growing tired of having to reach in the tank anyways.Hand wet again for no reason.
BTW,be careful if the clip lands on the sand bed for a night.Mine was full of bristle worms when I grabbed it.
If there's no clip that hangs on the tank side,I'll be making one.

You could always secure one to a magfloat....... u could glue it or use zip ties, that method worked well for me...... thoes suction cups are a PIA

two little fishes sells one with neodynium (sp) magnets instead of a suction cup.

Good ideas with the magfloat.
That way I could clip some algae sheets right at the surface and then lower.
I mean where I feed(out of the flow areas)when the clip falls it lands on my blue tubs colony every time.

This works best for me. Easy to put in and get out of the water.
