I should know better than to stick my hands in my tank without a firm plan in place. In this case, it was just to straighten a rock that was falling forward. I need to make a better base to keep it stable. Of course, since it was a quick job, I didn't pull out my stool or remove the cover. Tried to adjust it by sliding my arm in.
End result? The rock still isn't straight and I have large pieces of purple and green monti caps laying on my sandbed.

grrr.

Wonderful fish, but they aren't actually Coris. Not sure why people call them that.

Good afternoon @Brew12

Well...
It took a while but I finally got through all 176 pages of this magnificent build thread.

I did not want to add anything until I was caught up.
(I'm caught up)

I almost feel like I have been there with you for the whole trip. The life of your reef tank has been an amazing ride.
