I know a guy on another forum who took a tiny fly fishing hook with no barb, baited it with a mysis and caught the fish. Might be worth a shot. Better than ripping the tank apart.

Allen, I know it is your tank (and family) but.....considering all you have been through and the compliments that everyone ,including myself, have given you on the beauty of your tank. Work it out. You will again enjoy the BEAUTY that you have created. Good Luck with it!!!!!!!

Allen...how long did it take to get your 72g bow where you liked it?
Hi Ziggy,
Great post! I read the entire thing and I am so sorry that you had to go through all those tank changes! But you have given me great inspiration to get my salt water tank up and running!
I have past experience in running freshwater tanks but very little on saltwater, and I just obtained a 110 gallon tank that I want to make it a saltwater tank. I have a question for you. When you were setting up the original 150 gallon tank, you drilled holes in the back glass for the plumbing for a sump, but when you had to redo the other 120's, it doesn't look like you drilled any holes for it, why is that? Do you still have a closed loop system?
The reason i'm asking because I want to setup a sump system for my 110 and im basically going to follow your footsteps in setting the tank up. (yes your my mentor) and I don't really want to drill holes in the back of my tank and if your getting the same results without doing it, that is great!

Also a good point however I did completely change the look of the 72 several months in.
I really think I'm going to have to redo things in this tank. I have to get that Flame Angel out. I may as well change things around a bit in the process. I've done some reading and listening to a few folks that have amazing tanks and some of their tips and ideas are starting to rub off on me. Presentation. Right now my tank is a pile of rock with corals just stuck here and there. I have some ideas. First I have to get that flame out, it is killing corals and that isn't going to work for me.
Good to hear your thinking of redoing rather than tearing down!
In my eyes this hobby is "Living Art" in the way that no two tanks are the same as with any of the most famous paintings.
Hope you get things sorted to your liking.
Cheers
Very good info there Ziggy. I really wish I had unplugged those in my system and had used them....big, BIG mistake on my part. Take Ziggy's advice!!!!
