Christian Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Can you have too much rock in your tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derekreefer Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 The only thing I can think of is if you have so much rock that it starts to impede the water flow around the tank this could cause problems with Nitrates and algae as the detritus is not moving around. Also, I would think not properly stacking the rock (leaving room for water to flow around) could cause the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted April 7, 2010 Author Share Posted April 7, 2010 Well I was thinking about my anemone. He looks like he wants to expand but can their be too much rock for the anemone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooks Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 I'd have to say no. If you can provide enough current for Nitrates not to build up, then I think you're good. Also, if you're not keeping fish that need a large amount of swimming room, then you're good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted April 7, 2010 Author Share Posted April 7, 2010 No I've only got 2 fish a clarkii and a pipe fish. But I was thinking that the anemone needed more room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarathustra2 Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Maybe you need to shift your rock some to give him that space where he is? Do you have a pic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaJMasta Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 You could try giving him more space, but if he really doesn't like it then he will move on his own. A lot of nems like cracks and crevices too because of the extra protection they can provide, so long as they can get their tentacles into the main water column.

Christian Posted April 8, 2010 Author Share Posted April 8, 2010 Well he moved more to the front of the tank were it has more room. And I can't clean my class. Well also because my clown attacks my glass cleaner when I put it close to the anemone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
