I tried everything suggested to me on here and finally broke down and tore the reef apart. They are not easy to catch that's for sure!

I have found that catching fish in the dark is usually easiest for me anyway...lights off for an hour or two and then go into the tank with a small dim led flashlight find the fish you want to take out and then net them. I generally try not light up the tank or keep the flashlight pointed in the tank to long just enough to see where the fish is and to see where the net is. Don't know if this will help or not...just what I have found to be easiest.

I'd like to build one of those !

It's all acrylic except for the trap door, which is glass ? Got some rough dimensions ? The tube in the center, you hold onto it with that and the trap door with your other hand ?

Sorry, never used one before....
