I learned from my first tank...I just aquascaped my new 180 - and epoxyed the rock together. Now, no matter how much that rock looks like it's out of place, there will be no moving it for me

You just can't win with this. I kept looking in my tank, thinking "I should move that rock" , but no, I knew better. Never touch the rock, right? Well, the rock fell over, took a third of the tank with it. I shoulda touched the rock....

Oh, that sucks!

We moved a rock to find a fish and now "surprise surprise" the rock would not go back where it belongs. We'll soon be touching lots of rocks, as we will be moving over all my angels to the new tank in a couple of days.

but if you'd touched the rock the same thing would have happened so you were really equally screwed on that one
