    You can change it all around. It will just make your water a little cloudy for a bit until the sand settles. And be careful not to crush anybody when you put the rock back down! Have fun decorating!

    yeah, yeah. i heard that if you don't take pictures of your rocks before and after you move them, they blow up.

    Back when I first started in this hobby I moved the rocks around and fussed over it all the time. It was one of my best tanks ever.

    I had all relatively durable soft corals, and did make an effort to keep the corals in the same relative position in relation to depth and light. I suppose that might make a difference?

    I moved about about 2 months ago now and am trying to find a good way to stack my rocks. I used to like how it was but took the tank apart for the move, now I am rearranging rocks every other day trying to find something I like while still having plenty a shelves and caves and nooks and crannies for everything to be happy. One day I will find a good design but until then the reaaranging goes on. Oh yeah so far it hasnt caused any problems, little cloudiness but it always clears up in a few minutes.
