Stainless steel clips

[Dave S]

I've seen some stainless steel clips (not sure where) for holding down
cucumber an aquarium. Anyone have any ideas where I can get some.

TIA - Dave

In my years of fishkeeping, both fresh and marine, I have very rarely
found a stainless steel object that didn't rust anyway after a period
of time. I would recommend a plastic clip myself. Alternately,
microwave the slice of cuke to cook out the air, (only a few seconds
usually, depends on the m-oven) and drop it in. Clip not even needed
unless you want to hang it from the glass or other object.

I use plant weights - readily available from most LFS's - costs 99p for
a box of 10 (min). You can also buy it on a roll and cut it off as needed.

Oh yeah. I've done that myself, long ago. Thanks. I'd forgotten! Gawd
knows I have plenty of those little fricken rubber bands around. <g>
