Reworking aquascape

Captmcfly · Feb 4, 2018

So I am thinking of reworking my rockwork and adding rocks from my sump to my display. Have never done this before. Should I be concerned with moving things around? My system has been stable for months and ever sense I went and added a fuge. Algae in my display has been nonexistent however in my fuge I do have some cyno and gha none on my sump rocks tho as they are in a separate compartment. All my levels are perfect kh calc ph nutrients and so on. So I guess what I’m asking is what is the likelihood that I will bring on unwanted issues in my dt by moving a few large rocks from my sump up to dt for a better aquascape

I recently re done my scape a few weeks ago. I basically just slowly took all rocks out and placed them into a container which had my tanks water in and rearranged slowly without causing to much of a stir. I do have a shallow sandbed though so maybe a deep sandbed would be different.
Once I was happy with the outcome, I did another water change and everything was all good.

Thanks for the reply. After a couple hrs of no reply here I decided being that they were in the same system the risk should be rather low and decided to go for it. Although I did not move many rocks from below . I did move some of the rocks in the dt around . Only ended up moving one large rock up from sump.

Yeah I dont think the risk is too bad just moving rocks around in the same system. Im guessing there is more when adding new live rock if it wasn't' fully cured etc. But I'm still a noob at this so don't quote me on that
Hows your DT looking now?

I saw no negative results from moving the few rocks up. I may move some more this weekend. Still deciding on what I want it to look like with the rocks I have without adding anything “new”
