    Obsessive–compulsive aquascaping(OCA) is an anxiety disorder characterized by intrusive thoughts to rearrange your tank that produce uneasiness, apprehension, fear, or worry, by repetitive behaviors aimed at repairing your aquascaping, or by a combination of such obsessions and compulsions. Symptoms of the disorder include excessive rearranging of coral and/or live rock; repeated checking; extreme viewing; preoccupation with coral, bacterial, or aquatic religious thoughts; aversion to particular numbers of how many coralline spots you see; and nervous rituals, such as opening and closing your tank lid a certain number of times before feeding or cleaning your tank.

    I hope this helps ;D

    +1, had (what i thought) was the most beautifu nano-scape, then i had to tear down to catch a fish, i could never get it back to that. I've rearranged 8+ times in 1.5 years.

    OMG. You guys are scaring me! I'm doing a totally new build with a 36gal bowfront and a 20gal sump/fuge after my 30gal fowlr tank and have been non-stop on this site to make sure I get as much right the first time... now this. Should I quit now while I'm ahead...
