Dollar Store Trap...
This works like no other way I have ever seen. I made my first one some 30 plus years ago. Stepped on my last one I had it for about 18 years. When I made one out of a pink plastic jar, they did not like the color I found out fast. So I made a new one, you to can catch ANY Fish, or Any INVERT what so ever no jokes here, in no time at all 10 mins max! This is my total investment it is just shy of $13.24 due to inflation! That is only if you don't have any of these items at all. There are two sizes of these jars for $1.24 each at the Dollar Store. I chose the smaller size ( highly recommended size - small) it is perfect in any tank I have.
The way it works:
Place the jar with the magnet glued inside of it, and the foam on the top of the jar. You just lower the jar down in the tank, the open end with the foam horizonal with sand bed. Place the other outside magnet on a string, to the jar magnet they will stick together that will hold the jar in place (one magnet inside and one magnet outside on a string). I use up to 10 foot string. Put shrimp or clam into the inside jar.. And sit in your lounge chair and wait until the fish you want goes in the jar. And then pull the outside magnet on the string with a short fast snap! The jar opening will tip up in 0.001 seconds and float straight up to the top of the water extremely FAST. Your fish or shrimp can NOT GET OUT.... There is no better way I have ever seen to both catch and seize any invert, fish or shrimp of your choice.... Been doing this like I said for 30++ years and it works like no other... I just keep hearing about all these people with tanks that cant catch a fish. Trying for hours and hours, days and days while stressing out the whole tank and ALL the residents . In 10 mins total max time I can get anyone of them and pick which one you ever want to. I have some 300 lbs of live rock and corals everywhere! :) I also wholesaled for years and I could any fish or invert a customer pointed out in 10 time - always, they where amazed to say the least... :) This one came out perfect, best one I have ever made to date. Just wanted to share this to all. Build one get some... Happy Reefing :)
The list:
Plastic Jar $1.24
Neodymium Magnets, I use Rubber coated. (a pair) E-Bay (Out of Texas) $3.00
Foam Door Draft Stopper (Ace, Lowes, Home Depot) $8.00
Super Glue or heat gun (Dollar Store) $1.00
String, Braided Fishing line, Rope... lol ?
Razor Knife or a razor blade ?
One Larger Rubber band ?
And just 20 minutes of your time.
The foam that I used is closed cell foam and there is a picture of what and how to get it. It works perfectly and bends fantastic very little effort if any..! Bottom Picture!
