Anyone had success recreating an aquascape after a tank move/breakdown?

[LivinTheSwreefLife]

Hello all!

Today I got restless and decided to fool around with the aquascape in my current reef tank. I mostly just wanted to see how much of my live rock I would want to use when I downgrade (I'm moving from a 120g to a 55g cube), so I decided to see what I could come up with.

Well, now I've gone and created an aquascape I love, for the first time ever... typical :frusty:

Anyone have tips on how to preserve an aquascape when you have to break down/move tanks? I'll be moving to the new tank in about a month. I thought I'd take some pictures, but any other suggestions?

In case you'd like to see Coral placement is arbitrary ATM, just the rock design is what I want to keep.

Nice! I like it.
All I can say is good luck.

You can take a quick photo of the original for later comparison. Also helps to draw on paper designs you would like to accomplish. Visually, see how you can improve from the original aquascape and make notes. Good luck! ;-)

Thank you both! And the drawing is a good suggestion.. I may do it today while its fresh in my mind which rocks are individual pieces and how they fit together
