Hey everyone,
I've been toying with the idea of re-scaping the LR (and hence, the corals resting on them) in my 45 gallon hexagon. I've been wanting to do this for various reasons, including for spacing I feel I could better utilize and to create more shelving for another potential coral piece. Also, to take this opportunity to scrub some hair algea I'm fighting.
I am estimating it would take me about 2 hours from start to finish, so I would keep my corals in a bucket with tank water while I carefully transfer around and settle in the rocks. I am hoping my 2 fish (clown and gramma) would get a bit stressed, but not too disturbed.
Does anyone see any potential harm coming from this, such as possible water pollution/spikes from stirring up some sand? Or does anyone recommend another approach (or perhaps recommend I nix the whole idea for other reasons)?
Thanks for your thoughts!
