moving things around...

[mastertech]

well.... if any of you are familar with my situation. https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/365958/it-was-dumped-on-me-please-help you will know that i dont know what i am doing but hopefully i am learning fast. when i set up the tank, time was of the essence and the live rock was just thrown in and not very organized. well i saw an opportunity to sort and stack so stupid me.... i got everything looking good. then and only then did i research it...... well i read that i should not stack them up like a mason stacking brick and allow some room to breath and allow places to hide. so.... i had to restack everything. i guess i was a little frustrated and in a hurry, not a good idea...... next day (today) my wife call and said that one of the rocks fell down. BOOGERS!!! well once i got home i reassesed my problem and began the restack. i sorted everything out once more and found the balance of neatness and function and stability. i feel like i have moved every thing around way too much but at least its safe from falling rocks. is there any danger from moving things around to much. i feel like i am done this time.

If you didn't stir up the sand very much you should be fine.
It sounds like you just set things up and then rearranged it...I moved my tank from Wisconsin to Illinois...I was in a hurry to get things set up before anything died...my rock was just kind of hap hazard stacked in the tank. Then almost 5 months later, I rearranged my rocks because I was finally able to order some corals. No ill effects at all.
