I hate my scape. It’s been like this as long as the tank has been up, but I’m no longer happy with the way it is and I think it causes issues with deadspots.

My question is, this tank is a Waterbox. It’s pretty tall(around five feet) and I’m not. Plus I have fibromyalgia which affects my hands. What’s the safest way to go about redoing this? I’ll have to use the same rock. Some are rather large(you can basically tell what’s what) and I do not want to risk busting the tank. I don’t have funds to replace it. Also what’s the easiest way to move rock flower nems off rock? Without hurting them? I only have those, a frammer, a zoa frag and a rock with some sad palys. Pics under whites to kinda help maybe show the

Tips? Suggestions? Aqua scape ideas?

Well scapes are personnel. If it was my tank and my situation I would move the rock away from the back wall. You only need enough space so the flow will work around the back of the rock.

With your issues I would just get someone to help move the rock.
No sense making it stressfull.

I would also try to keep room on the 3 side so cleaning the glass is easy.

Remember when the tank is grown in you really wont be able to see the rock work much at all.

This is what I did for my 20g nano cube. With the scape in place it will just growout from their.

Form or function: Do you consider your rock work to be art or the platform for your coral?
