rock up against glass?

[pastina]

I started adding some base rock to my existing tank and in one spot i noticed the rocks tip is up against the glass.
The glass is 1/2" thick, should i worry? or will it be ok?

i wouldnt worry about ur glass as much as having to move the rock to get detritus out from under it and on its sides...i would recommend A LOT of flow

The glass will be fine, but it can be very hard to clean around the rock. That's the reason I don't like having rock close to the glass.

Thanks
as long as i dont have to worry about the glass breaking and a flood

yeah i kept the back glass rock free for over a year, it was easy to access the back with the pro scraper and get off all the coralline every month, but the last time i did it was too much for me, i guess the pressure of the water, scraping etc. all on my tiny little delicate wrist lol hurt me, my wrist was messed up for like 10 days, so thats when i figured ef it, if i cant do the back anymore just add more rock and let the coralline grow wild

Yep!ok as long as you don't need to clean glass!

ditto with what others have said, I made the mistake of having rock right against the glass or way to close and you can scrape the glass because the rocks...If when I change my sand bed to all sand instead of crushed coral/sand I will probably try and get the rock away from the glass.

Thanks I do feel more at ease leaving the rock there now

Its almost done, a few more days of live rock curing and the tank mini re-do should be complete
I will post before and after pics when its all done
