![]() Don't mess with shite, you might break it. Luckily the left side of my rock did NOT collapse, but it was close. Leave. Tank. Alone.

![]() With my new FOWLR tank I've pretty much cemented the rock together. The cost of hopefully preventing any kind of a collapse is that there's no hope of making adjustments. I will rue this decision on the day that I have to go spelunking to remove fish but hopefully that day will not be too terribly soon. Actually in the meantime it's kind of fun, I made a kind of habitrail structure for my eel by building rock around a network of PVC pipes that poke out here and there, so hopefully this experiment pans out. We'll see.

![]() Back in 2003 ish I was messing with my basement sump when I first set it up. Trying to jam a piece of acrylic in place in the sump before work.
Should have left things alone! The acrylic slipped. Jambed my top of my right hand against it. Cut through my tendon on the top of my finger. ![]() I have a cool scar to show for it

![]() Two weekends ago I tried shifting one rock. I swear it must have been the kestone for the whole pile because everything started to wobble. One touch of my finger and one whole side of the pile collapsed! I redid it with a little more structural soundness (and some epoxy).

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...
