...aquascaping's a betch.

Just finished transferring everything from old tank to new tank. Geeez...never realized how hard it is...and I was only moving it 6 feet

How many pounds; find any surprises ?? :P

Pictures!!

[Der_Iron_Chef]

I'll get pictures

About 50 lbs. of live rock. Only surprises I found were about 3-4 dead frags I've lost over the years...somehow. Guess they don't do too well under fifty pounds of rock

I hate arranging rock. Does this happen to anyone or is it just me: I only make it worse. "Hmmm, this aquascaping could use a little adjustment." <Move rock over> "Hmmm no OK it's worse like this." <Move rock back to where it was> <Rock no longer fits where it used to fit> "What the ... This is worse even still!" <Move rock back to where rock was first moved to.> <Rock no longer fits there, either> <Bump another rock in the process> <That rock no longer fits where it came from> etc. etc. etc.

What bothers me is how a rock never fits the same twice. I pulled out a rock to scrub off a patch of green hair algae and couldn't get it back in the same spot again.

I agree with brent, but I enjoy aquascaping because its some my fiancee can put input in to.

I loathe it with an undying hatred nothing ever fits and everything falls. *grouch grouch* It's nice when it is finished, especially if it never moves.

Well, aquascaping is difficult at the best of times...but it's REALLY tough when there are corals growing all over it. Who wants to squish the corals you've been growing out for a year? Well....not me

Having said that, I'm fairly pleased. I was originally going for two "islands" of rock, but that didn't work out exactly. Ah well. C'est la vie!

So...It seems like the common thread here is that none of those who have posted so far secure any of their rock?

[Der_Iron_Chef]

I don't. I just stack it. Haven't had any disasters.....yet
