I got to look at my neighbors tank and she had a 30 nano like me. Her rock display was awesome, I got an itch to really change mine, she also gave me some of her cured live rock so I broke it apart and put it in my tank, what a friggen mess it is now, my sand bed is all shifted with all types of pieces of rock and everything, my cleanup crew i think survived. It was MADNESS! I toke multiple pieces of rock out and moved it and stacked it. Here are some pics that I toke, I dont even know if Ilike it. I was thinking of really just getting one of those smaller tanks and have some corals and maybe just a few fish for now because I honestly think this tank is going downhill :( The skimmer box with the bubbles come through, has a ton of water in it, more then normal so I dont even know whats wrong with that. I have about 3 pics so ill post them right after this post, but guys I really dont know what to do.

It doesnt look like the rock is cured. The skimmer could be going crazy trying to pull protein out of the water?

Well the first thing you should do is move it away from the side glass to allow you to clean it when necessary. Probably good to do it now while everything is all worked up. Also, with the pieces in the tank I can see where it can make for a nice looking scape.

It is away from the glass. I cleaned where I had to, the water is till kinda cloudy. I never should've touched the friggin tank

You can run a filter to help clear the water, if you have or can borrow a canister or HOB filter run that with some floss and your water will clear in no time, or if you have a sump put a filter sock on the drain, either way that will help to clear the water.
