The updated version, V2.3.0, based on the previous, V1.2.4, accommodates a larger sized elastic band and has been redesigned to prevent stress and deformation along the midline of the clip.

These clips are designed for single-handed operation and secure attachment of lids on culture tanks of multi-tank systems such as those manufactured for zebrafish by Aquaneering and Aquatic Habitats. They use an elastic band for to pull the two sections of the clips together (recommended: Scunci No-Slip Grip Gel Evolution Ponytailers, 4 cm diameter). We use these to secure the tank lids for use with Xenopus and Ambystoma.
