Another aquascaping thread [pics]

Hi,
I am going crazy with my aquascaping... As I am adding more coral to the tank I am completely running out of room. My rocks are way to big for a tiny 46gal.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

It looks fine to me. Or you can take em out back and break em in half?

It looks ok to me. I think you should upgrade to a bigger tank

I agree I should upgrade, but I dont think my wife will understand.

How do you guys attach frags to the rocks? My biggest problem now is that I can not put anything on the top of the rocks or in the middle, since snails and crabs are pushing smaller rocks off the big once. I have to pick them up off the sendbed almost every morning.

What do you use to break the rocks?

gravity

you can use putty to glue rocks, or superglue for polyps and whatnot

You can use aquamend epoxy from Home Depot, its like 3 bucks a tube and its reef safe

a lot of people will "pin" corals on disks/plugs to rock, you drill a hole in the rock and use that.

Thanks. Do corals come off the plugs eventually and spread to the rock? Also, how long does it typically take for a coral to attach itself without gluing?
