I am in the process of moving my residents out of their cramped downtown apartment (BC32) to a much roomier 5 bedroom, 3 bath (75G) out in the burbs I have used most of the techniques mentioned in the reefkeeping article, next on the list is the high and dry method. The soda bottle worked to catch my 2 peppermint shrimp, as they had started picking at my acans and zoas. After that, none of the fish would go near the trap, so I took it out for a couple of days. Then I tried putting it back in a different location. This time using magnets to hold the trap on the glass up near the top where the chromis and clowns tend to feed. When feeding time came, I blasted some mysis into the trap and 2 of the 3 chromis went right in. The rest of the fish were not fooled by my trickery, and retreated behind the live rock. The next night, after not feeding for 24 hours, I used the food in the net trick to grab up one of the clowns. Again, the rest of the fish basically flipped me 'the bird' and swam off to safety. Early that morning, around 2 am, I used the night attack method to scoop up the second clown with no struggle at all. I am now left with a chromis, royal gramma, bengaii cardinalfish, lawnmower blenny, and a cleaner shrimp to move. Hopefully the high and dry will do the trick! Happy reefing everyone!

Can’t believe how well the lights off then quickly turn to full blast works. I just caught my 8” Emperor angel in a 300G tank full of live rock in about 15 seconds. Been trying to catch him for a week. Have to remove him for a few weeks to make some new additions to the tank and rearrange some rock before adding him back in. He is NOT happy with me but glad it was quick!
