It is best to remove all the livestock when you perform a full rescape. Its just like having exhaust fume inside a confined room, you don't want your livestock to breathe or drink their poo, yea?

I took out all my Angels and Tangs out before doing full rescaping of the tank... Just to play safe I crush my Light foot crab while doing that... now left only one. lol. What a terrible accident.

SRC Member Underwater Posted January 29, 2009 SRC Member Share Posted January 29, 2009 Thanks for the link, bro. Besides the scaping info, there are many other useful information in that webblog too...e.g. whether light alone is sufficient for photosynthetic corals...which is no as mentioned in that his blog and explaining why, his experience in various nitrate controls methods...

Might be problematic for me. have zero success in catching fishes out from tank since day 1. Anyone kind enough to loan me a betta box to try lure the fishes in east side? haha..

If you are doing a full rescape (removing all live rocks and re-arranging them to a desired structure), catching the fishes is as easy as scooping them out. You don't need to coax your fishes to get into the beta box... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
