Live rock configuration.

[anaelitz]

Is it ok for the live rock to lean up against the side of the tank? Let me know your thoughts.

I don't see a problem with it I have seen many tanks that have this done. However it makes it very very hard to clean your glass in that area. I have a coral that has gotten close and has now been fraged by my cleaning magnet. Hth

My rock leans on the glass but it is a pain to clean around.

mine leans only on the back

Mine leans only on the back and I let corraline grow there. One thing to think about is that it will scratch your tank. So before leaning it against a side, think about if you will ever need that side to be a "viewing" side.

I would be concerned about flow. You don't want "dead" areas.
