My engineer goby's would have them exposed in about half an hour. If you aren't considering ever getting something that may do this, then it isn't a big deal.

The other issue I could see with perchering the rocks up on pegs would be anemones. They may get underneath the rock and shift it around. They may even topple the rock on themselves. While it would be difficult to do, I've found anemones that live in the sand extremely powerful. If you aren't looking at this type of creature though, you have nothing to worry about.

The rods will be epoxied with sand so that will be taken care of, as for the rocks. I would say the lightest one in there is probably about 20 lbs and the rods are glued in place on the bases, I will also use a small amount of epoxy or silicon to "pin" these bases in place before I fill with water. Trust me, they will not move. The only problem with this is, the rock will be a permenent structure. All in all, this might not be a bad thing, it will prevent the "lets just move this one rock senario".
