Reaquascaping

I've got a lot of rock in my 90 and now that I have some corals in there, I'm wishing I'd arranged it differently. I'd planned to take almost all of the rock out and redo it, but I'm not sure how this will affect my tank. Any tips to do the deed? Tub of water?

My best suggestion...chill!

 

Almost any arrangement of LR will look cool in the end...

 

I had one tank where, after lots of effort, I absolutely hated it. But I had Thorited it together, and couldn't really move anything.

 

Six months later, it was spectacular (IMHO), best-looking tank I ever had.

Once you have a lot of coral growth, it probably won't make any difference, unless there's a problem of there not being any high enough spots for corals that need really intense light.

 

You might end up messing up your water quality.

My tank has been up for about a year like this. It looks better now than when I started, but I'm finding I don't have as many places to put corals as I'd like. Part of this is due to only having 18 inches of depth to work with and trying to go to the top on some parts. Some of my rocks lack crevices in which I can tuck corals.

My advise is to plan out how you are going to rearrange. Try to imagine how rocks will fit together to create the structures you want. It helps to just stare at the tank for a long time. If you try to wing it you will become frustrated very quickly. Good luck, thats one of the most difficult things to do in my opinion.... can be very rewarding though

I'm pretty comfortable in setting up the rocks themselves. I could just use a few tips on how to keep the impact on my tank to a minimum. I have some corals that have attached to rocks and that could be a challenge to keep them happy.
