Clap

I'd be happy to take it.

Before introducing the next fish is an ideal time to improve the environment. Of course, another CB could end up having a personality as docile as a Nemo. Big smile

Thanks for everyones input.  i finally caught angel last night.  Mark, i still intend for you to suggest ideas for my tank, possibly preventing this from happening again in the future.

If you can't get it out, here is a suggestion.  This is how I catch fish in my 400 gallon 8 foot long tank and it works like a charm. 

Go to Home Depot and grab some of the egg crate stuff out of the lighting section.  Cut 2 pieces and angle them into each corner (so it's a triangle). Then take the egg crate and angle them out a little bit. For some reason when you scare the fish with a net, they always run into the corners of the tank.  Then as soon as they go behind the egg crate in the corner, push the egg crate back and trap him.  

Another way to do it is take maybe 1 section of rock out and stick a giant egg crate piece in so you have 10 or 20% of the tank isolated.  You can almost always scare it to the smaller side of the tank opposite side of the crate.

In a tank as large as that, I'm pretty confident we can find the way to reduce the aggressive behavior. I'd still like to see a pic that doesn't have the fuzzy blue glow. I'm not looking for anything here but to help you.

I was going to give you some suggestions about training, but I was expecting to talk about that when you had me come over after we texted last week.

Aloha,

Angel is still a jerk, but there arent any more new fish to pick on.  it seems to be getting used to the presence of the fish trap, so hopefully i'll be able to pull it out soon.

I had mine put up after the tank was already full.  I just covered the top with a screen and blankets while I drilled into the wall and hung it up.  Feel free to come by and see it if you want extra ideas.  thanks!]]> Wed, 27 Jul 2016 08:10:15 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=80542&PID=615657&title=fish-trap#615657 <![CDATA[Fish trap : WaitForIt... wrote: Marcoss,it...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=80542&PID=615655&title=fish-trap#615655 Author: Marcoss

Marcoss,

it is a cadlights tank.  I had the bracket custom made by a guy I work with.  it's made of 1" aluminum, welded together and I anchored it to the wall studs behind the tank.  I was nervous about hanging a 48" T5 from the ceiling, so I went that route instead.


Valid concern and excellent idea. I'm going to reach out to a fabricator and see if they have any ideas about getting a stand behind the tank, without moving it.

Thanks!

I'm sorry. I can't see what I need with all that blue. Please try using a flash or turn off the blue. Also, get closer and take left side and right side pics to provide more detail. Sorry to be so picky, but could we see a sideways shot of the Refugium area? Thanks.
