Went to glue my frags down today and no idea what I touched or hit but my entire rock structure collapsed, no was not in top of the sand. Luckily tank is good and all fish accounted for. May have lost some frags I had prior to the new ones. Had to re-seascape and was not happy. I found my nem alive on overflow but shrunk and located a list ric. Will post pics tomorrow as the water was fortunate this hsppenef.

Just had to vent as only people like use can understand the stress I felt.
 
Seeing a falling rock, especially one towards the glass, is always a moment that happens in an instant but drags forever in your mind.
Hope you didn't lose too much from the incident
 
sorry to hear, mine is held together with hopes and dreams also . Praying it doesnt come tumbling down some day . next tank I will be acrylic rodding the scape together so i can sleep better.

My upgrade tank is shallow so two rocks high more than enough I hope.

That’s why I always build my rock work dry and epoxy the crap out of everything.
falling rocks are bad news.

I have a bunch of loose rock in my tank.
I mess around to much with scape and I am always moving stuff around so glueing doesn’t work for me. What I like to do is remove the rock and work on it outside the tank and when I am finished glueing I replace it back in the tank.

A little tank maintenance today and realized the Blue Hawkins i just got from James is missing :(
It either fell behind rocks or into a pile of stuff I threw out. Was putting broken plugs n dead coral in 1 spot in tank and then scooped them all.

Damn it
 
Had that happen recently myself....husband came running when I yelled
Didn't put it back together the same way...looked funny for a couple days
