To Lean Or Not To Lean.. That is the Question

Hey Everyone,

So I decided to rearrange my live rock so it's more to the back of the tank rather then in the middle. Thought this may give the tank (120 inwall) mor depth. In any event.. Most of the rock is sitting on the bottom of the tank but there are two pieces that when I set them in place are against the glass in the back. Do you think this is ok??? It shouldn't be a lot of weight at all. but want to make sure that it wasn't a no no..

Let me know what you think.. I'll send pics when I'm done! :

 

It might be hard cleaning back there

 

I'm going to have a power head pointing behind so I should get flow back there. only thing I won't be able to do is scrape the glass. I think I'll be ok as there is not any pressure on the glass the weight is on the rocks below the ones that are against the glass. Really the rock would tip backwards if the glass wasn't there so it's not the weight as much as it is a bit of support.

 

I have several rocks that lean against my glass. I've never had an issue. I don't have powerheads in back since I have anemones. I don't clean my back glass so it isn't an issue for me. If you like the pristine look it may be more of an issue for you. Personally, I want my glass to look like a piece of live rock.
