i used flexible bonsai mesh and cordened off some of the tank once i had him to one side...ushered the discus out....closed off the mesh...and well i be... had him in five minutes!!
Had a mate to help with a big net .. i was on mesh duty!
Couldn't believe it as last time i spent hours and couldn't get him!
by the way the tank is a lot more peaceful now!!
What is Bonsai mesh?
is a felxible mesh 2mm thick that you cut up and use to cover holes in the pot to stop dirt falling out the bottom when potting up bonsai's
i found that if you drop the water level its the perfect dimension of a 4foot fish tank.
Rather than it being a firm sheet it allows you to fold back one side to let fish in or out and divide them to avoid creating too much caos.

you can get it on line at the above address otherwise most bonsai places.
The link also will give you distributors that may be near you
i am sure there is other forms of similar stuff- not particularly bonsai related
on the above link the 5 sheets are quite small
but their dimension vary - i was lucky to find a sheet the right size without wiring them together
