oops. i dropped a screw!

[weatherdad]

I am about 2 weeks into cycling my tank, while working on the lights in my canopy i accendently dropped a screw in my tank and can't find it. i have 120 lbs of live sand and 100 lbs of live rock in my tank, but nothing else. the screw must have fallen behind some rock, should i start moving the rock around, or should i just not wory about it. the screw is a #10 x 1/2" wood screw. any help would really be appriciated.

I would find it. It will corrode and most likely contaminate the tank. The screw could contain copper or other unwanted metals. Not a good thing for saltwater.

a screw in the ocean is fine, but not in a tank!!

thanks for the advice, it took some searching, but i was able to find the screw, the water is now a mess, but i actually like the way i reset the rocks. will all the rearranging and comotion i caused in my tank affect my cycle?

Nope, your fine. Do you have plenty of current?? You should already have some "commotion" anyway??
