    As has been said, after much trial and error, once you get it the way you like it, you will find a reason to move something and the cycle will start over again... We never did get back to the version we liked best...

    I never glued my rocks together for that very reason! I have rearranged several times, but to lessen the shock to the residents, I do it in 1/2's. One side of the reef one time, then the other. Somehow I think it's less stressful, but what do I know. And I had a reef collapse, so that gave me another excuse to rearrange!

    oh man, I read it and am now staring at my tank thinking "what to do what to do" it has been the same for several months now...glad I only have 50 pounds to move...I guess maybe later tonight I'll re stack it, before I put a lot of corals in these next several weeks...my damsels will be ticked off, they all have there little spot...I have a few rocks with a lot of algae too that I may leave out for a few weeks to kill some of it off...

    And I though I was the only ONE!!! My hubby tells me to leave the poor tank alone--I ask would he rather have me move all the furniture around? LOL
