Noticed my royal gramma sideways.. tried to grab it... sunk further into my rock work... i have to rip it all apart just to get the fish out of the tank.. now my tank is in shambles... i am not super impressed today... now i have to try and get all the livestock out so i can re-set the rock work... this will take a LONG time as they are all little pieces of rock! MAN OH MAN! not the way i wanted to spend my sunday.... are you sure none of you have a 33gl tank and stand! lol! I want to get rid of 50% of these small rock pieces...dang it.

I hear you there Asmodeus, I have had to do it twice in my 155 BF (24" deep & 24" wide in the middle) to get out a Damsel and then a Lunar (lunitic) Wrasse.

yes i sure am thankful it wasn't a huge tank like yours. if they were big pieces of roach it would have been fine... but little 3-4" pieces is not so fun! everything i have appoxied together fell apart.
