They never go back together the way you want them to, do they.  I had to pull my rocks out of my first saltwater tank for reasons I have since forgotten. It was a bit disturbing to find my blue chromis laying on the carpet once I put the last piece of rock back in the tank. The fish must have run for cover into one of the holes in the rock as I was pulling it out. I was pretty surprised that the fish "sprang" back to life shortly after I put it back in the tank. |

My stacking looks like a preschooler did it. (actually, I think a child could have done alot better...) I have no talent in that department.
With time, comes experience, with experience comes knowledge, such as alcohol makes the rocks look good tonite, but come tomorrow...
hahahahah

Oh Matt, a feeling I know all too well. I have taken portions of my reef down to re-arrange them until it looks right. I moved the rocks so much that I pissed all my corals off and by the end of the cherade, my tank was a mucus fest!
