yeah. it can happen in any tank though. big or small. my 300 will be from a custom aquarium company and will have double depth and width seals on all sides to prevent that. it will also be fully braced with something a bit stronger than the cheap plastic so many tanks use.
 
My thread I posted was natural live rock vs. Eco live rock. And Walt Smith posted twice on it. He says most people don't really what actual live rock looks like, they would be shocked to see it. Mostly what is sold today is brown boat rock. The only way to get fresh live rock is to have it air freighted. But I found a place live rock n Reef in florida, which seems to get only to get air freighted rock. But it costs alot more if you can imaging. They have all kinds, fiji, buna, tonga, manato.
Idk, so many choices.

What do you think of the euro bracing?
 
yeah but remember you have to feed them and feed them often. they also need to be in very low light.
I read up alot on them, and they had an article in tropical fish magazine. And they in the wild they will grow in caves, but some will also in shallow reefs. Each polyp had to be fed several times a week.

I will probably do half and half, but I want the hand picked fiji rock. I know everyone is about saving the saving the oceans, but I still want the real thing. Lol
when I do my next reef tank it will be all live rock. see, its still illegal to harvest rock off of a reef in most countries. when you buy premium live rock it doesn't come off the reef. it comes off of lease areas in open water where people have been piling rock for the last 10 years to sell later. we had a local lfs owner goto prison for harvesting rock off of a reef in florida.

I believe in Fiji and Pacific manato rock, they can harvest certain amounts per year. I think I read that Indonesia is stopping the harvesting of corals and/or fish. I can't remember exactly.
 
figi is pretty strict when it comes to their reefs. im sure there is more to it than you can harvest so much. maybe they have to replace it with dry rock or they do a lease style contract and you can place rock directly in the reefs for harvest later. not much rock we get these days is fresh from a reef, its almost all been out of the ocean for years.

I remember seeing somewhere where they have allot storms there, the rock who naturally break off, and then they collect those pieces. Either way, I mean, even if they let dry rock sit there, it's from that region.

yeah I could see that to a point.
