I had my rock perfectly setup for awhile and Now most of it was taken down by an earthquake that hit us today.... Im so ****ed... Ive been workin at putting it back for hours now....... It sucks!... And the water splashed out everywhere and blew one of my circuits.... But everything else looks fine.....

You should look into liveframing. Turns your aquascape into a jigsaw puzzle of sturdy, yet moveable rocks. Id imagine living in Cali this is a frequent occurence (quakes). It might be the way to go. Basically the idea is drilling your live rockl and inserting pvc or acrylic dowels tightly into the rock.
