Re-Aquascaping

GregAW · May 7, 2012

Well, I have another question. I need to re-aquascape my DT and I was wondering, all my animals will remain in the tank, what problems might I run into by re-aquascaping? I'm having to change my overflow system and don't want to drain the tank to do the switch. The overflow will be shut down for maybe 2 hours and then it can be back online but the rocks will still be needing to be moved. Thanks in advance.

Are you wanting to remove your rock completely while you re-aquascape?

You should be fine if you are just moving rocks around It'll stir up some stuff, but it'll go away pretty quickly once you get the sump back into play. I've had my tank to the point where you can't see in it and never had an issue with fish or corals.

Just move rocks slowly as to not crush any fish or livestock

Cool and thanks for the fast reply. I figured I'd cloud the tank up pretty bad.

Oh no, I may have to take some of them out but not all. Just so I can do it safely and not kill anything. Thanks for the fast reply.
