Does messing with the rocks make anyone else ticked off?

[paintballer768]

I just had to take EVERYTHING out of the tank, just to remove that ****** angelfish. Now I got home from the LFS 2 HOURS AGO and just finished. I get so irritable, mom telling me what doesnt look right and "arent I hurting it?" I dont even know if I like it now, Ill sleep on it.

Anyone else get really ticked off while changing the rocks around?

I get in such a bad mood when things have to be moved and don't go the way i want them...i just hate aquascaping sometimes...

I hate it all the time. With the recent trading Ive been doing, I honestly have too many pieces. So many freaking cheap zoanthids in the tank and GSP from when I first started, I really considered throwing them outside in the bushes today. I did that with 3 mushrooms that I managed to scrape off, and then put the rock upside down, so if they do grow back, I hope they die.

Just give all the extra mushshrooms and gsp to a LFS and they will likely give you store credit...

This is the worst task. The rock work NEVER goes back exactly the way you had it before you moved it. I just got a new tank so i'm transferin my 12 gallon to the new 34 cube. I hope i set it up the way i like the first time, heh.

I like my GSP, I just wish it would stay the size it is now. The rock alone weighs something like 1 lb and its 100% totally covered. Its been moved from the sand bed to the rockwork for a week and its about 1" onto the new rock.

I wish I never put cheap palys/mushrooms/GSP in there ever.

hahah i dont ever regret putting my GSP in my tank it adds SO much life to everything!

The next thing in its path of terror is my SPS frags, but thats about 5"-6" of surface area before it reaches that. Then I get to look forwards to reaquascaping to remove the GSP!!! *** my life

I always thought a 100% gsp bottom in a tank would look so awesome.

+1 that would be an AWSOME site, and its totally possible seeing as it grows like weeds lol someone should try that....

Only problem would be that it would need constant pruning, and grow up the tank sides.

yea so it would DEF take some elbow grease but u gotta admit that would look sick

Yea it sure would lol. I jsut wish it grew as slow as my SPS

Find your center, breathe in, hold it, breathe out... Ahhhh...














Then go put a hole in the garage wall:D. I've never 'sailored' a day in my life, but when it comes to gluing frags into the display or rearranging one 2" rock that nothing was even touching before I tried to mvoe it, you'd never know it...

I "sailor" too much. Bad habit haha

LOL! Me too!!!

 

[maroonytunes]

Haha, this thread is interesting, hopefully this time no rocks will be falling in my tank or all the rock is going down because every piece is touching a lot to another rock. Gosh that would be a pain especially with coral.

 

[ahayes13]

i think aquascaping is really difficult! its hard to get everything to work together or to match up. or trying to get it to balance on eachother so that it is fairly "sturdy". then i get in the tank to do something and then barely touch something and it wobbles.. ugh.... and a week before it seemed so sturdy. im thinking maybe just going with the "pile of rubble" aquascaping may be the way to go! hehehhehehehe

 

[92GallonReefer]

yeah i agree! im getting ready to set up the new tank and i am not looking forward to the aquascaping at all
