When i initially set up my tank i was giving around 200 lbs + of live rock. well due to the cloudy water and me also not really knowing what to look for, i have seemed to have buried a bunch of goodies. ie. there is bunches of stalks of xenia and probably around 50 zoos and mushrooms.
Well sunday i will be doing a water change so i thought i would take out most of the rocks and put them in the water i was taking out for the change and set the rockscape up better this time.

The initial set up was basically building a pyramid shape up toward the center keeping a couple inches of space on all sides

well after looking at all your tanks on here i dont see why i cant build more of a bow shape instead. ie. i will most likely build pretty close to the back wall and give myself more of an open sand bed in the front.
heres what the tank looks like now.

I just want to make sure this is ok to move all the rocks around.
i will be very careful seeing that there are a few shrimps in there and fish.

You will be fine taking the rock out and starting over. Make sure you keep it in the water that you pull out of the tank and keep it wet and you will be good to go. Depending on how long you think it will be out of the tank while you re-aquascape, you might want to place a pwerhead in there as well to keep the water moving.
