Yesterday while fragging my cap, I must have upset the fish gods. My stack fell in my 120. Here is a pic of before

It took 4 hours and 8 or so buckets to re-stack. I called my lfs and some good friends for moral support. I ended up taking a large rock that had 5 acros growing on it down to my 300. I couldn't get it to work. Way too heavy. Here is the results. Ended up with 40lbs of leftover rock that went in my sump. Time for more coral!!

I am going to burn the rest of m the cap.
 
Man, I hate to hear that. Hoper there were no casualties...

Look at it this way... Now you have plenty of frags... Just a positive spin on things...
 
It happens to all of us. I can't tell you how many times I had to re-do my rocks because of this.
 
I made a personal vow never to touch any thing tin the tank after 9 pm. I can't count the time I've tweaked something only to have a live rock-a-lanche, and end up re-stacking it at 1 or 2 am :-(
 
You just convinced me not to start tweaking my rock work tonight. I don't want to be up till 2am trying to get it just right

great advice!
 
I like the way your rock work turned out, IMO it looks better than before.
 
man i hate that! This happened to me once too :)

Take the time to CREATE a rock structure... zip tie and epoxy it... don't just stack it... BUILD IT :)

Its fun!
