Lately ive been looking at my scape and i have it built so it sort of pyramids in the middle. Ive been thinking its to high and a little much. If i took out the middle rock it would provide to islands on each side, more swimming space , and probably improve more flow for my gyres. As of now i think mostly it might irritate my hawk fish as i know he goes in there but that should be it. I dont think i need acros that high since i run hydras and t5. Thoughts?
 
Personally I'd say it's up to you. I really like the 'two island' look myself. I think your hawk fish will survive :P.
 
It does seem a little high and the two island look it's a good one and the fish will probably be fine so I say go for it
 
+1 to both you guys!

I was thinking the sane thing. Its just a hard thing to do after something has been in place for a while. As said above there is no need for that height. Only problem is it was epoxied. Will it be difficult to remove or will it just snap off?
 
Epoxied without rods drilled into it? You should be able to break it off fairly easily.
 
No rods just spots of epoxy. Two spots. I have one acro ill have to relocate but it wont be a big deal. With the removal i think itll open up real estate for sps much better also open up flow. I feel like its right in the middle of everything and is completely unnecessary
 
So I did the two island thing in my tank and one side I made really high and I didn't realize it until later on when I wanted to put corals and I said dang if I put corals there they're going to fry so I just took the higher rocks out and now everything is good. You're gonna love the new look, change is good :-)
 
Okay! Im invisioning it and i love it i juat dont want to disrupt anything in the process. I just hope it comes undone easily
 
Post some pics when you're done. It will be great
Will do! Lights are going down now but tomorrow i will! Hopefully it doesnt anger any residents. I think it will be best for all in the long run
