So I got a bunch of lace rock that I want to put in my tank for Africans. My first instinct is to put the rock in the 'middle' of the bottom of the tank to not cause scratches or extra pressure on the sides. Then I think...if the rocks are in the middle then there will be just as much open (swim) space in the back as in the front, and i certainly would like my fish swimming in the front so I can see them
Besides the obvious of not resting rocks on the heater and filter intakes is there any problem with moving the pile of rocks as far back as I can? Maybe even stacking, leaning, or resting them against the back side of glass itself? The tank has no leaks but I want to make sure I am not adding too much pressure in addition to the water or too much pressure in just small touching points on the glass.
Am I over-thinking this? =)
Thanks
