Scaping

My 75g is my 5th tank- still have the original 13g- others rehomed ( and still have the 40 as a time out for bullies and pod tank for now ), the 75 has been up and running for 9 months and I'm still rearranging the scape. Nothing is glued down including most of the corals - except those that glue themselves. Most of my rock is big, so it's not a problem. Is it just me, or does anyone else keep changing things up and around

I have been contemplating if I should add more rocks to my DT. I miss the rock wall

Ask someone whos' tank you really like to come arrange your rock for/with you?
I like my rock and the scape I have for the most part. I just move stuff around- usually for the corals, sometimes to adjust the flow in the tank, sometimes to get more space on the bed toward the front, sometimes to create a cave

I often move corals around to change exposure to light or flow or to make room for more or things that have gotten too big. In my 30 gallons also moved scape around. With my 130 I went negative space and cemented everything in place so no moving rock anymore. Ya gotta commit with the NSA.

Just wondering about the 130 with negative space- is it because you have larger fish that need more open space, or larger corals

I did the NSA primarily for the look, but also for better swimming space for fish, improved flow, and I was tired of things moving my scape like my huge turbo snail.

I did it for the same reasons but especially to eliminate dead flow spaces where food would just rot.
