I really like my aquascape, one thing I do wish I could do more easily is remove a few of the corals I put in, or where I put them before they fused to the rock work.

I hear ya! I'm pretty happy with mine too but find I'm in a similar predicament once frags grow in. Sometimes (all the time) it's hard to predict their growth patterns. When that frag you planted doesn't grow straight up into a beautifully uniform colony, but rather decides to table right into your prized Purple Monster frag I start to get annoyed.

Yup, with me, it was more placement of the frags that was wrong. SPS like lots of light, so I used up the real estate up top first. Then they start crowding into each other, and shading everything below, so putting new frags down lower doesn't work either now. Had to do some pruning already, and more to come. May have to start rearranging some rocks, too.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

Yes, but usually I've lost the urge once I've forced myself up from the couch...

I need to move some rocks around...my clams they be growing fast.

Yup, worst mistake in my reefing hobby is doing "semi" pennisula! I found out really quickly how little space I truly had and how annoying it is that you can't access the front side:-( I've broken countless of frags off because of my short trex arms!

Yah, just did a minor change last week. I like to change it up every once in a while. It rips some of my soft corals, but they always recover.

I love aquascaping, I do not mind spending several hours on a tank getting it just right. I have changed my layout a few times, each time I think it is an "improvement" on the last. It is nice to have 20-30lbs of spare LR in the sump to swap out. Corals can take a hit during reconstruction, but always recover afterwards.

Omg I though I was alone! Let's do it! Team trex! Long makes fun of me all the time because I can not reach the front of my tank unless I put the scuba gear on:-( I even had to buy the extra long chop stick to help with my trex arms. Some days I feel like this picture! I really think the trex support group would really give me a boost!
