OCD about Aquascaping, who's with me?

So, I have a problem, it's that I'm never satisfied with my aquascape. I have to tinker, I have to fiddle, I make rock slides, I have to adjust, I move, I stack, I knock down, my fish tnink I"m crazy, my clowns bite me as I carry their RBTA duplex around the tank.

I actually had my scape the same for a bit, was fine. But I had to remove my Coral Beauty recently to swap for another dwarf and I needed to move the scape to catch it. It gave me a chance to re-arrange it a bit.

So I re-did everything and I loved it, but than the next day I started moving things again, then the next night I did it again. Now I can't seem to get back to how I had it when I loved it, sighhhh

Why does this give me stress, who's with me???

 

+1. i am in the process of re-doing mine and i don't know where to start. lol

 

it's the absolute worst when everything looks great and you go to adjust a little piece and you knock everything over, I wanted to scream when I did that

I find that when I don't have a plan it always looks better, when I envision this layout in my head it never looks like in my head.

I cannot get my scape back to where the 2nd pic is, I'm sad.

I started with this:



Then went to this:



Now it's currently this:

 

You are not alone! I have redone mine several times over the last year looking for perfection ...LOL ..Although my fish think my OCB is just crazy....LOL

E

 

That second one looks pretty good. I dread doing my new tank cause i told myself im doing it once and leaving it lol

 

+1 to that I'm even going to get some of the stuff that marco rocks sells to bond everything together.

 

I'm with ya..the right side of my tank is always bothering me..one day I hope I will get it right..

 

Thx all, I just need to vent and know I'm not completely insane. My gf thinks I'm crazy, she doesn't even notice I changed anything.

Yeah I'm trying my damndest to get it back to the 2nd pic but I can't seem to do it.

Right now my RBTA's are in the middle of the tank on a hill of rock and I thought I'd do a horseshoe of rock around it. It looks cool from the top but it doesn't look anything near as nice as the 2nd pic scape when you're looking into the tank.

 

You sound like my wife.

 

I guess it depends on the scape. By the time a tank starts to fill in, it is usually about where I want it and then I don't so much. I often still rearrange corals though to make more room
