    I couldn't do that if it was my tank. It would hurt too much. lol.

    ...should be cool to see how it looks with the new 'scape though.

    After laying out the rock I really won't be using too much less live rock but there will be a lot more open areas to allow for good water flow because I used Epo Putty to attach the rocks together. If I went with my original layout I would only be able to keep a few of my corals whereas if I use my new idea I can keep all of my gems.

    Very bad news. I'm not sure what fish will be going back into the 120. I had a massive die off of fish these past two weeks. Obviously the 40 gallon breeder isn't big enough for my fish bioload. My ammonia is 2.0! I've lost two Powder Blues, one Mystery Wrasse, one Flame wrasse, and one McCosker's Wrasse. My Sailfin doesn't look well either.

    A friend of mine is letting me borrow his HOB skimmer today, hopefully his will help remove some waste.
