I keep mine on the back glass also. I do it to make the fish swim out front. Mine have been on the back glass for over 11 yrs now. If you dont leave any space in the back then they cant swim back there. JMO
It really dont matter if the rock touches the glass or not.What does matter,THE ENTIRE STRUCTURE HAS TO BE STABLE.If its not stable,it has a better chance of falling and busting the tank.

I read that article. Unless I missed something, where does it say what I said was wrong?Just found this. Ccapt, according to this you are wrong.

Simple yet accurate statement. :bowdown: What may dissolve deep within a sand bed precipitates back out of solution because of the high concentration of carbonates in a small area. Sort of like a mini snow storm (precipitation event) deep in the sandbed.i think many people think it dissolves but in reality it is being taken out little by little every water change. sand will not dissolve unless the ph is very low. in a very deep sand bed as far as i know the ph has a chance to get that low but that i dont know for shure.
hmm my snails and crab eat everything but the coraline. Do you have any idea what you calcium levels are? When I first setup my tank again I used instant ocean (salt i always used in the 90's) I wasnt getting any corlaline growth after I used up my first bag i switched to reef crystals. Now I am having to scrap the purple spots off of the front glass of my tank weekly. and have purple spots every where. I havent tested calcium dont have a test for it yet but will before I get any corals. Anyway will be interesting to see if the pvc I plan on putting in the nano tank will turn purple or not. I wounder if I should rough up the pipe some before i put it in.I used live sand from an established tank and have LR and holey rock. Any color of anything that even starts to grow by morning is gone. Those snails keep that PVC pipe VERY clean. I haven't touched the pipe since I placed it in the tank and it is still white. My holey rock has turned grey with purple and green spots, but not the PVC pipe.
