just wanted to share my lesson learned
i decided to move around two pieces of rock in my tank cause they were bugging me...next thing i know i screw my entire aquascape up and had a towel and bucket on the floor for 3 hours putting the all rock i tumbled over back into my tank. in the process i crush my anemone with a piece of rock (it survived) and stressed out all my fish. its was 3 in the morning when i was done. im 15...and i had school the next day...or that day by then. i also screwed up my neck from looking into my tank for 3+ hours so i couldnt compete in track finals.

out of that i found out no matter how tempting it is to rearrange the smallest bit of live rock...DONT! its causes way more trouble than you could ask for

Well I feel ya brother. I've did the same thing couple of days ago and have ended up buying thirty more pounds of rock and completely rearranging all my rock.
Was worth it though. Very much pleased with the new look.
Think of this a positive mistake. You now have learned to make your rock more secure and have learned "Once its there, its there" But through trial and error, it can and will be better. Hope everything is all good.

I think just about everyone has done this. At least I hope so...cause I did.
What I leaned...if I want change...buy more corals.

Man, I know how you feel. I switched my rockwork so many times it cause lots of problems. What do you run in track?

Cool, How do you like the field events compared to track events?
I do Cross country, and in track I run 800, 1600.

i used to love running but then i just got tired of it. field events for me are just something different and kinda more entertaining. i used to run the 800. i could never do cross country, gotta give you props there.

Thanks, I enjoy running but going around and around and all of the tracks are pretty much the same gets kinda boring. That is why I like CC more. Do you do javlin? Sad thing is track/field doesn't start for a few mouths.
