I've changed my tank a lil, and made it look more open...changed the direction of flow and moved the corals around, which made it look much better.

love the new look smitty, now you just need a sweet acan colony right smack in the middle of the sandbed

It wasn't able to be viewed on a mobile device. So I couldn't see it.

from your experience, does moving stuff around ever cause you a mini cycle? bother your fish or anything? i want to move my rocks around and some corals. but i dont want to kill everything in my tank. lol

Nope, it doesn't cause a mini cycle or negatively affect anything...but gnats also because I don't really mess with the rocks in the sandbed, which could possibly kick up a lot of crap. But as much as I've moved my rocks around and re-aquascaped several times, I've never had a problem.

they call me fish geek ;p
Looks awesome smitty. I can't move anything in my tank around bc I epoxyed it all together. Now idk if that was a good idea bc sometimes I think and changing it around. Just the right side is epoxyed. Maybe ill rescape the left side...

That's looking nice, I like the coral placement, I think they'll grow together really nicely.

Those duncans in the middle will get huge, I bet! My #2 favorite coral, behind the elegance coral.

Ikr...I started out with 3 heads, and now I'm up to about 14 heads. It is my favorite coral. :)

Daaammmm I haven't see the tank since like 90 pages ago :)
Looks like one side of a trench. I bet the fish think they are in the ocean.
I am currently trying to build up my corals to look more natural as well but I can never have a rock wall again.
Anyway, sweet tank and I read someones comment and have to agree that the pix do not look like a 29Gal tank.
I thought it was like a 55 or something when I first saw it.
Oh yeah a few comments back someone asked about a mini cycle and moving things.
I took all the rock out of my 80Gal(16 pounds of it) and had water you could not see through hunting down a mantis and rinsed almost all the rock with RO/DI from my dispenser and put it all back in and had no spikes of anything. I had half the rock to one side, sand everywhere.
If that didn't cause a mini-cycle I can't imagine anything will.

I appreciate that Phastroh... :)
I've upgraded from my old 29gal, to a 37gal cube, it's not as long as the 29 gal, but it's wider...and yep, no cycle when I moved everything over, I made sure I rinsed my sand very well in plain water.
