Merry Christmas Reefers!

Just got 3x XR-15 Blues and a Trident for Xmas today- SUPER ******* PUMPED! I've been Reefing ~7 years and almost feel like I have a new tank on my hands with these upgrades.

I'm going to do a semi-reaquascape tomorrow... Not planning major changes on the foundation but want to move a dozen or so rocks around in anticipation of a coral bump.

In the past when I've re-scaped, I've had a few 5g buckets and transfer the rocks to them while I rescape.... but I inevitably crush coral when stacking rocks and and water gets cloudy have a hard time finding the rocks I'm looking for quickly...

This time, I'm tempted to just lay out some towels and move the rocks onto towels for ~30 min while I quickly resort the top half of the aquascape.

1. Will Monti/Acro/LPS be okay outside of the water for 30m? Ambient Air will be ~70F

2. Is there a better way that I'm missing?

If all goes well, hope to see you all on the Cherry Corals Livesale tomorrow :D
 
I just did my 90g tank and I used big, flat Rubbermaid type trays for most of my rock with corals on them and a Brute for bare rock.

Good luck and enjoy!
