i am going to rearrange the rocks in my 29 gallon. im rearranging all of em doing a diff. design in there. should i take out all the rock and place one by one and take out all the fish to so i dont stress em out. what do i do. helpppp........ the only rock i wont be taking out is the one with the anemone cause its a pain in the (you no what) to take him out with the rock. i dont want to stress the little guys out.

Don't take your fish out of the tank. I think that would put a wholllllleeeeeeee lot more stress on them.

 

[samster]

wouldn't it be easier juss to rearragne all the rocks in the tank without taking anything out? i mean if u move the fish out with a net, its goin to stress them the same as removing them no? and its less troublesome? and easier for u i always left everything in there when i move crap around. but i aint no pro just a newbie so i guess u should wait for a pros advice -=) but i mean if u think bout it logically it would be the same amount of stress ur givin the fish to remove the rocks to net them and catch them?

 

[nanoreefer22]

Don't take out the fish...lol.....

 

[Tonyscoots84]

yea thats what i figured. thanks nano and samster. see my thing is i want to get all the rock away from the side glass i guess start from one side and keep building up. theres alot of tanks here on MR that have that look. i like it thats why im gonna change it up. going to try to do caves and stuff so they have a place to hide n sleep. any other recc. would be greatly appreciated.

 

[Tonyscoots84]

ok ok ok nano hehe J/K... i guess i aint got nuthin to do tonite so i figured id make the tank look nicer. since my poll came back with majority needs more work. so im gonna do it. gonna aquascape the crap out of it. wish me luck

 

[nanoreefer22]

Hmmmm maybe they weren't saying the tank looks bad, just that it needs more like lighting, filtration, coral??, things like that. I think the scaping was nice.

don't take out the fish.

take out some rock and try to go slow, the fish will be hiding under the rock left in the tank. be careful not to have any rock slides, you might hurt the fish.

it's a pain, but it's the best way to do it.

 

[Tonyscoots84]

thanks nano. i need to get the rock away from the glass cause i want to be able to clean the sides. i hate looking at the algae. once in a while ok but every single day uh uh. hehe lolz.

 

[samster]

well i like my rocks dead in the center of my tank, but today i juss sretched the rocks from side to side to block off the plumbing. looks kinda weird nows but it hides the overflow and return better, owells better water flow -=D Now i'd have less browN craP on floOr ='s alil bit better lookin? lols

 

[Tonyscoots84]

lolz samster. rock sucks to aquascape but it does the water good. jhale i had a battle with my wonderful clownfish (little bastard) kept trying to bite me. he used to be so nice until the anemone entered. ill take pics everyone tom. when everything is settled out. i think it looks better. i gotta do some work on the sides of the tank to get rid of the algae. gonna use a scrapper and my magfloat.

 

[Tonyscoots84]

what do u guys think about this aquascape.

just redid all the rock in the tank let me no what you think.

 

[nanoreefer22]

Looks good. Is at the rock up against the back of the tank??? It's gonna be kinda hard placing corals is the rocks are all the same distance from the front glass.

 

[Tonyscoots84]

no kris not all of it is up against the back. its hard to tell by the pic but there are rocks away from the back glass and closer to the front.

 

[Tonyscoots84]

it wasnt easy to do for nuttin. my clownfish kept trying to bite me that little bastard.

 

[nanoreefer22]

Could you get a side shot???
