Help me please base rock

[dynamictank]

I have rock that's been sitting outside for two months, I wanna put down carpet and pick up the stand to lay the carpet down and by doing that I'll have to empty some water and I don't think I have enough rock work in my tank would anyone trade it's tonga. I was wondering since I have alot of corals and fish would this cause something bad to happen. I don't have much funds anymore maybe I could trade a colony if u want

You'll have to empty more then just some water. I suggest you empty as much water as possible. Based on your gallery, its a 75g tank. Even if you left 20 gallons, the tank and stand probably weights close to 100# or more, plus the 20 gallons @ 160#+, plus the 30#+ of sand and then the rocks. Already 300+ pounds probably. If you have a sump that's not empty, thats an easy 50+ pounds. If you lift it up, water will likely swoosh from one end to another stressing the seams, if you try to push the tank, it'll stress the seams plus possibly damage the stand as well.
Just a thought...

Put the base rock in with a bunch of your live rock in a tub and do a water change every week in the tub for 2 or 3 weeks and then test the water. If theres no ammonia or nitrite you're good to put it in.
