When I made this aquascape about 2 years ago, I decided that I wanted to glue all of my rock together. Now I want to change my scape up so I can hold some different types of coral. Anyone know good ways I can start breaking it up?

TIA :)

I”m guessing its one piece? If more than one piece probably much much safer would be to get a few people to support it to remove from tank and break it up out of the tank, or much riskier is If you can get to the glue/epoxy it can be fairly easy to break if you can hit it in the right place but it would be very risky, one slip and it could break the glass, removing most of the water might make either option easier?

My only worry about taking it out of the tank is that my beneficial bacteria will die too quickly.

It will still be wet, yes you’ll loose a little but not much at all.
