I reached in to right a clam last night and a colony fell off the rock (apparently it wasn't attached very well). I'm tempted to just take the colony to the LFS, theres no way I'll get it reattached without causing some sort of issue :neutral:

I wasn't even touching rock, just moving an unmounted colony. And now I have to touch it again to fix it, since it shifted 2 inches and may fall over anytime now...


Oh Brad...haven't we talked about this in the past- Drill your rock! Way more stable and super cool aquascaping;)

Or better yet, suspend your entire rock aquascape from the ceiling with wires and pullies. Easy access every time. Add a motor and a switch for the WOW factor.

I've learned this lesson before... I know it. I abide by it. My goddamned pistol shrimp, however, loves to ignore this rule and screw with every load bearing rock in my tank.

Skin + LR = BAD
Pistol Shrimp + LR = BAD
Skin + Pistol Shrimp = BAD
LR in hand + Pistol Shrimp = Problem solved (I'm kidding... though it's crossed my mind a few times.)

Put it on a timer and you could even simulate a tidal ecosystem. All you'd need would be to catch a couple of seagulls and you'd be set.

Better yet, make it so that it can rotate rotisserie-style, that way you can grow coral on every side of the rocks! Whoa! I just blew my own mind...
