Need help removing a fish

[nevermore84]

I have a yellow tang in my 125 that I need to remove due to aggression. The tank has about 300 lbs of LR in it so it would be a real bear trying to break down the rock work.

Does anyone have a tricks for removing a fish under these circumstances without completly removing all the rock? Thanks in advance.

Look up on how to build a fish trap. Most people build them out of a 2-Liter pop bottle. If you have an acrylic savy person in your local saltwater club see if they would build one for the clubs use. We did that here and it floats around the club to whoever needs it. It works wonders for our club.

get a tiny hook from the tackle shop and bend the barb in. bait with a tiny bit of clam or shrimp. works every time

At you local tackle shop look for a hook package called sabiki hooks. They have no barb and are used for catching live bait with the ease of taking them off to place in your live well. then use the same bait that bobt2 stated, works all the time for me....

Good luck pal - it took me 5 hours and a 50% destruction of my reef to catch the bugger.
