I’ve recently become unhappy with the height of my aquascape and am thinking of lowering it to add more negative space and allow for more mounting space for lower light corals.
However to do this I’d have to remove one very large bit of live rock, a single piece that makes up around 1/3 of the total LR in the aquarium.
This aquarium is a very low tech 10g with just a HOB filter so the LR in this tank is doing most of the heavy lifting. It is also heavily stocked, housing one bangaii, one clown and an eviota goby.
Would it be worth it to remove a 10 year old peace of LR to make the tank more visually appealing to me?
I don’t know how many pounds of rock this system has so I’ve attached a picture of the aquascape for reference. Would removing a third of this be too much? How would I deal with the weeks/ months after removal? Just extra water changes?

. I’ve rescaped the tank three times now. The large piece rock is 28 cm long and the tank is 35 wide. Very difficult to make the rockwork lower than it is now with such a large peace.
