OK So after over a year of collecting, saving up for and planning equipment, I finally am going to start filling this tank TOMORROW!!! Finish plumbing the tank tonight and start the RODI to fill up my mixing station. I was thinking of making some minor changes in my rock structure, but have a couple questions first.... My tank is a 65 gallon so I don't think I'll have any large livestock

1. What is an ideal size gap for most fish to swim through?

2. How much force could fish put into a hit if they accidentally bump into a structure? Is it possible for a fish to destroy a rock structure? Each rock I placed, I wiggled it a bit to make sure there won't be any boulders falling on the fish. Anybody have any incidents where fish caused rock to tumble on themselves?

Youll be surprised how tiny the holes are that they can get through lol
Your scape looks great :)
When I do my rock work, I do the exact same. I wiggle to make sure that "wiggling" cant make it fall (and it helps since live rock naturally wants to fit together).
