4 pound tang - or vegetarian moray eel...
 

Well not really. But my purple tang did just snap some 4 pound test fishing line that I use to hang a veggie clip in the tank... now the clip has sunk and I cant find it. :neutral:

haha he must be ripped :boxing:

Ha..ha.. I thought maybe someone had a bigger tang than I do!

Your feeding him those new steriod pellets?

Now if you had one of these you wouldn,t have that problem :wink:

I bet he's really please with him self

thats Fin-Tang-stic :biggrin:

ok im on holiday

What gets me is I still dont understand how it did it. I wasnt watching when it happened. One minute the tang was eating some nori off of the suspended clip and the next minute it was gone. The fishing line was only a few months old and even though it had been under MH light it didnt show any signs of weakness. However the line did snap where the knot was tied and its strength would be compromised a bit there. So perhaps 2 pounds of force was what it took... but that still seems like quite a tug from a tang.

I've looked through that thread but I'm not sold on the idea. I think what I need to do is just use some stronger fishing line. Thats if I can ever find the veggie clip again... it must have fallen behind the rock-work somewhere. Hopefully the eel will push it out one of these days.

Just get Poontang's feeder. Beleve me, it's awesome. no more messin with clips, line, nothin. Take it out, wrap Nori around it with a rubber band and set in tank. I've had 5 fish, including 2 very large tangs pulling at it at the same time, never an issue

My fishing line and clip was working great until super-tang stole my lure. All I had to do was clip some nori in and drop it in the tank. When it was finished eating I'd pull the clip up and sit it in the bracing until next time. I just need to retrieve the clip and buy the stronger line...

I'd love to see Supertang go a couple rounds with Poon's feeder :D Let'\s see if you can break this HAHAHA :lol:
