i read someones advice line on a profile here once for a saltwater tank, and it went:
"Don't put your hands in the tank more than once a week."

I don't know the validity of this comment, but it sounded like it came straight from that person's heart, so i remembered it, lol.

snow boss kep your hands out...lol. i used to do that 2. when you get corals and sponges/dusters on your rocks you wont want to move them all the time. some stuff is photosithetic.coriline will also depend on light and current. your tank will suffer for your adiction.. trust me i know

yea, i did the same thing at one point, its becuase you just started and you want your setup to look official, but trust us, when you have more rock and coral you wont want to, i cant stand to put my hands in the tank anymore, if a coral falls or a rock slips...i just leave it untill my weekly maintenence is due
