This is just another example of the fact that our view of nice looking doesn't always match our fish.

I did a large water change 50% and took out all the rocks and re leveled my sand. Well the tank was of course super cloudy, but I wanted to get my live rock back in the tank before the water got any colder in the buckets it was in.

I knew it would look crazy but I would just deal with it for a couple days so I don't keep stressing my fish. Well what I consider a hot mess in the tank my snowflake eel must love it I never seen her moving around so much. In and out of the rocks always in another rock.

So what I thought looked bad she thinks is creaking awesome. I even took the time to bury a 1.5" pvc pipe that runs half the distance of the tank, which she has ignored.
 
Just like how my Cichlids love to dig and move the substrate and uproot the live plants I've been trying to grow. They seem like the plants floating in the water column and the glass to shine through gaps in the substrate. It's a never ending battle. Every week that I do a water change, I flatten the substrate out again. Within a day, it's all moved around and pitted out. :nilly: It's not annoying to me or anything but just funny. They definitely have preferences. "I like this rock HERE." lol
 
Oh man I gave up on sand with my cichlids, like you siad you could change it every day and every day it would be back how they wanted it, my freaking texas would start moving the sand while I was still trying to fix it. I just removed the sand finally because I got tire of super mounds of sand that are just waiting to have gas build up. My oscar and texas love to hang out in side the massive clumps of roots danging from my pothos. I noticed when I pulled out all the drift wood to clean out the sand; it ticked of my oscar and he started destroying my roots. every day for a week I had roots floating in the tank.
 
Oh no! That's not good. That's just another reason I didn't go with sand. I really like the look of it but I don't want to deal with the negatives.
