Aquascaping

I really want to do rearrange my LR to make more sense of things in my tank. Ill probably take out the powerhead connected to the UV sterelizer and connect the output from the canister filter to it instead to make more space. And it looks like I'll need to take out the heater, the canister filter is warming the water enough, its at 82 degrees right now. My question is this-what is the best way to go about rearranging the LR? My initial idea was to put it in a container filled half way with my aquarium water and topped off with make up water. This way, I wont take out too much water from my tank. I'm also thinking about getting a trickle filter and attaching the protein skimmer to it, it takes up a LOT of space on my tank. Please send me your thoughts, I'm looking forward to this.

Re: Aquascaping

6 week old tank and I'm still rearranging rocks.ugggg!!!!!!!!!!!

I just lay them out on the styro cantainer or bucket,didn't remove any of the water.as long as there not out of the water to long you should be find.A sump,trickle,or refuge will save you some space.Your skimmer,heater and UV can go in them.

Yeah,it looks so easy in theory.You think you have just the way you want it and the next day something looks off, end up rearranging them over again.Bought some Tonga branch to go along with the other rocks,have no idea how to put them together to make it look right.
I need to hurry up and get it right before I do something stupid like glue a coral to rock.

Help!I need aquascaping class!!!!

Re: Aquascaping

I wouldn't add any water either. You'll just have to take it out again in the end... When I redid my rocks I piled them all up on one side of the tank and just rearranged everything without taking the rocks out of the tank.
