New Era Mini Marine Grazers. How's your experience?

F-Dawg · Feb 17, 2014

I have been using new era's mini marine grazer for over a month now and my herbivore's haven't showed any interest. I placed the circular wafer all over the tank and even soaked it in garlic and still nothing. Looks like my tangs just got use to nori sheets. At $16.99 I don't think I'll give it another shot.

How's your guys experience with these?

My fish go nuts for them

Zoarder · Feb 17, 2014

Same here, since first day they all started eating... how long do you leave it in there for?

I never had a veggie clip before.I always wrapped nori around a small piece of LR,secured it with a rubber band and dropped it on the sand bed. They have been eating nori this way for over 5 years. Can't teach a old dog a new trick?

Never tried the waffers but with nori, I use a mag float and sand which the nori between the mag float and glass. The veggie clip would always fall off for me.

My tangs and wrasse love it!

My tangs love the mini grazers and a few of the wrasses go for it, as well. Not sure if it actually stays on after about 1/2 way eaten. Borbonias show zero interest in it. I have also tried their flake food and most of the fish go for it. Nothing seems to beat New Life spectrum pellets for interest except for frozen foods

i just started using them and the fish love it but how they heck do you keep the other half from just falling off the clip?

i got a sample when they were at CofC, and am beating myself up for not picking up a bucket @ 40% off. my tangs love it.

they get violent and tore it off the peg though.. >_<

My fish showed a little interest in it but they prefer nori. My problem with it is getting the little disks on the suction cup without them falling apart. And having them fall off when halfway eaten. I still have 90% of a container for free if anyone wants to come get it.

My fish have liked them. But my nassarius climb up the glass and chow down on it too much I think. And I wish they were thinner so that they would get totally consumed versus half getting eaten then falling off the plug. I don't use them often for fear of ruining my water quality but the fish do love them.

Most of my fish like it, the yellow tang and angel love it. The wrasses and others get the scraps as they break off.

most of all the fish here at the shop love the new era food some tangs take a few times before realizing how awesome it is

We stocked up big on it at your shop last weekend. At 40% off we just couldn't beat the price. Our fish love it. We always put in 2 at a time on opposite sides of the tank. It never makes it more then 45 min before it's picked clean

My folks live in Sunland, maybe we can work something out! (I gotta parrot fish who would be very grateful!) Also, I'm by Sylmar pretty often.

does half of yours just fall off the suction thing and onto the sandbed? if no, do you do something special so that doesnt happen?

Adrock · Mar 27, 2014

I usually take it out before that point I only leave in the system for a few hours and then toss it

good idea. maybe ill do that and just use what i take out to feed the coral. fish really do like it. just dont want the extra junk to just sit a polute the water.
