Breeding issues

Hello all,
I have a slight problem and I need some advice.
The past couple of weeks have been very stressful for both myself and my females.
I have a 90gal which holds the following: 1 5" Front, 1 4" julie dickfield, 1 3" Blk Ink Fin Calvus and then my Yellow labs 1 2.5" male, 2 3" females, 1 4.5" female, 2 1.75" unknown sex at this time.
My problem is My male Yellow has started to stess the smaller females out bad. I have re-arranged my tank 3 times and have been covering the tank with a blanket trying to calm him down. This last time I pulled all my rock out (60+lbs) and the male. Waited 8hrs and released him back into the tank. Everything was cool for 36+ hrs. Last night I came home to find one of the small females holding!!! Woohoo!!! But as soon as the light came on the male started chasing her around, and she ended up in the top of the tank. I have since been able to catch him and he is now hanging out in one of my nets till I figure out what to do. Once he was caught the females chilled out and went back to thier areas.
What do I do?
1st: go buy a breeder net/box and keep him in the 90gal until the females are back to 100% ( picked it up today incase )
2nd: I have a 10gal that I'm using as a grow out tank right now I have in it: 3 .75" Ink fins, 2 1"+ yellow labs. I could pull them out and place them in the big tank.( worried they might become food ) And place him in there till whenever.
3rd: Any of your Ideas
Again any advice would be great
Thank you
