Live Rock Adjusting

Would moving around my live rock in my reef tank cause any stress on my fish or cause any fluctuations?
Thanks!

Its ok to do that, just try not to stirr up the sand bed to much or parameters can fluctuate.

Thanks, Ill just have to make sure to be really careful. I decided that I really didn't like the way things were laying out and wanted to make some changes
 
As hunt said stirring up alot of stand can cause some trouble. To be honest I would do a water change after no matter what.

Thanks.
Im thinking of adding some new corals soon, should I wait a while after I move the rock?
Prolly not the same day but I don't think you really need to wait. Just check your levels and make sure they stay inline. And I suggested a water change because no matter how careful you are some stuff will get stirred up or loosened up in the water column. Hope this helps, this is just what I would do.

That helps a lot, thank you so much. How much of a water change are we talking, like 10%, or more?
 
I think that should be fine, but like I said just test the water after. This shouldn't be a big deal but the water change is better safe than sorry.....it always amazes me when I move a little rock how cloudy the water can get.
