poor bonding of magnets By Robert on 4/28/13
Robert wouldn't recommend this product to a friend
I have bought two. both have fallen apart when new (unused). the clip breaks if you open it very wide after a few months. I modify these and use my own exterior magnet. the clip is great untill it breaks.

works fine after some fixing By monkiboy on 3/27/13
monkiboy would recommend this product to a friend
the magnets are quite strong which is a good thing but if you are not careful sliding off the two ends you will tear the white coverings right off. they look to be held on by cheap glue with little surface area holding them together. like other persons posted, i used some super glue and held it in place for a while and am extra careful separating the two halves when i have it outside of the tank. better yet, keep them permanently separated. manufacturer should package this with a separator of thick cardboard to prevent this from happening when buyer receives it.

Works Fine.. But.... By gmastr85 on 1/6/13
gmastr85 would recommend this product to a friend
My veggie clip works just fine and has held up. It's plastic and not all that heavy duty, but gets the job done. The only problem I have is that its too expensive. I paid 15 for it. Two weeks later I found a very similar "no name" clip at my local fish store for 2 dollars. There really is no difference between the two except the color. 4 stars for the clip, 2 stars for price, equals 3 stars overall. I would not purchase this particular clip again due to price, even though it works just fine. If you have no other options then go for it!

Piece of pricey junk! By John on 12/27/12
John wouldn't recommend this product to a friend
Mine fell apart after 30 days on the job. First the outside magnet thing came apart, but I was still able to hold it together when repositioning the clip. Today the clip itself came unglued from the part inside the aquarium. When it worked I like it better than the suction cup since it's easier to place down low in the tank. For now I'm back to the lousy suction cup, but at least it hasn't fallen apart!

Works as designed By TridentSSBN on 11/24/12

I have had two of these for a year and have yet to have a problem with either of them. I think they are a great product, and as for everything of course there could be room for improvement. This item though works exactly as sold.

VEGGIEMAG By Willy on 9/23/12
Willy would recommend this product to a friend
This tool is a good idea, But it needs improvment. The plastic clip broke after 6 months use. The outside magnet plastic face came unglued. I just took some coral glue and that cured that. A hi-grade stainless steel spting clip might be better. I am going to buy a second one just for the ease of use.

Junk By Adam on 8/18/12
Adam wouldn't recommend this product to a friend
Piece of crap. I received mine and it was in the tank a total of a few hours and the inside piece separated from the outside piece. Not because of loss of magnetism but because the flimsy piece of plastic that the magnet is glued to separated from the algae holder. Letting the algae holder float around the tank.
I tried to repair using super glue which compounded the issue with no fix.
Will never buy again, stick to the suction cups.

Junk By David on 6/27/12
David wouldn't recommend this product to a friend
As others have said, these things fall apart. It's such a bummer to be forced into self-repair when you buy at this price based on the premise that value is there. Don't do it, the glued parts fail.

It's a clip. With a Magnet. Nuff said. By Ben on 5/27/12

It's nice that it's a magnet, that's for sure. I like that I can move it around outside the tank with the opposit magnet.

It does the job, but a little disappointed in the quality for the price. Definitley better than a suction cup kind.

Better than suction cup design By Daniel on 3/8/12

Great feeding tool if made better By Melvin on 2/21/12
Melvin would recommend this product to a friend
This is a great feeding tool for sheet materials. The reason I could not give it a full 5 is because the face plate for the outside keeps comming unglued. I love the way the inner mag clip can be removed to place food into the clip with out the outer magnet falling off the tank. It just needs to be glued properly.

Not worth the money By Inlandreef on 2/21/12
Inlandreef wouldn't recommend this product to a friend
After using this for only about 3 minutes I found my DIY clamp works better. I was hoping this would work better because of its smaller foot print. I have a large Foxface and Sailfin Tang, it took them no time to rip the Nori from the clip. It might work great for smaller.

To be honest I wouldn't even bother with algae sheets beforei got this. Someone gave it to me and now I love it. No more fishing for the stupid suction cup models.

Beats Suction Cups By Chris on 1/20/12
Chris would recommend this product to a friend
The magnet functionality and not have to get your arm wet are what makes this a good product. A minor complaint is that the clip is on a swivel which means it has a tendency to blow in the current in my tank, which can be a little exciting for my fish eating from it, as they can get bumped when it swings around. A way to lock it in place would be nice. Also had the same issue with the magnet as the others, but I have some 3M adhesive to fix it.

nice but not perfect By Samuel on 12/9/11
Samuel would recommend this product to a friend
great product, like previous reviewer stated, the magnets eventually fall out since the glue isnt strong enough to hold it together. i reapplied some cyanoacrylate glue generously to the wet side and it has held up for the past few months. my dryside piece is just the magnet alone now

Not bad By Merl on 11/14/11
Merl would recommend this product to a friend
I purchased the VeggieMag because I hated dealing with the little suction clips that either didn't stick at all, or so well they were hard to pull off, which ment getting your hands wet. The magnet with this is so strong you can quide it up the side of the tank and have it jump right into your hand! My only complaint is that the pieses were not glued to my satisfaction. The adhesive failed right out of the package, but becuse the magnet is so strong they have held together nicely. Juging by the quallity, it should last a good long while.
