I have a Confession

[marie]

I like to mess with the fish tanks..... I even secretly like it when my rockwork falls apart because it gives me a chance to try something different





Pics will follow after the sand has settled down again

Nothing wrong with that marie...I do the same thing...I intentionally knock a rock over..."damn I have to rescape the whole tank now"

Doesn't that stress out your fish?

Just the opposite, they are all pain in the butts because they move into where the rock used to be hunting for tiny morsels. I thought my copperband was going to follow one of the rocks I was lifting, right out of the tank

I think it stresses the reefer out more than the fish.

I havn't had my hand in my tank in over 4 months!!
Been leaving it how it is. I clean glass with magfloat, and take the Algae out of the overflow. BUt with a bare bottom and my light stocking. No need for me to be in there. I have to change that me thinks. Need to recapture the 'fun' I had with my tank. At present, it's just there.. I feed, then off to somehting else

I made a new years resolution to not mess with my tanks for a year. It was horrible but I did last about 10 months and then I removed every last piece of rock in there and completely relandscaped......

why would you clean out the algae from your overflow? no one sees it and it acts like an algae scrubber or refugium
