So what do you do? When you have your rock scaped all nice and the way you want it and then you have to do something in the tank and one thing shifts. Then something else moves and before you know it, your rockscape is all messed up. You try really hard to 'fix' it but nothing gets it back to how it used to be.

How do you handle this or what do you do?

Reset it and this time use Coral putty to keep it together.
This is my favorite and works under water

Rescape and learn to love the new look...

Haha, this is my answer as well. I’ve had several rock mishaps, mostly due to urchins playing bulldozer
It really stinks though, when you've spent a lot of time getting the scape just right .

I’ve mostly gotten pragmatic about it. My scape is never really just right . Like recently I added some rock from my nano that I’m getting rid of. That being said I am happy with it at the moment

Recently had a similar experience. The new scape with be done with 2 part epoxy and epoxy putty. Never want to deal with that again.
