Aquascaping

I have a 120 gallon tank that has been up for 5 months. From looking at my tank ever day (Obsessed) I now want to change my aqua scape around just a little. Will it upset anything in the tank if i just take out 3 rocks and move 1 rock from the sump to the display.

It is all in one area. Do you think it is fine or will i disrupt the progress the tank has made so far?

You'll be fine moving it around. Just be careful not to disturb the sand bed too much, though. It could release some bad stuff around the tank.

few rocks you should be ok. Do you run carbon? If said rocks are somewhat imbedded in the sand, be gentle and run some carbon if you don't already

As mentioned above just be careful not to disturbed the sand bed too much and be prepared to do a water change. Also recommend monitor water parameters everyday for about 3 days after.
