I have a 20 gal nano but am upgrading to a 55 gal, which arives tomorrow! I'm planning on making a brand new aquascape but wanted to keep a few rocks from the nano that have some encrusted corals.
My question is, what's the best way to break up the rocks and move them over? I've read online to use a hammer and a chisel but I'm scared this will break the glass in the tank lol. Will pliers or bolt cutters be effective in carving through rock? I feel like other people must have done this before!
Its not much rock work but I mostly want to grab a couple of the rocks with montis and zoas on them. I also have a leptastrea on the left and a couple Duncans that have grown into the rock. The others are small enough I can just pop off the glue from the frags.
