Live rock placement??

[zboy34]

I am setting up my 32 Biocube LED and am putting my rock in to cycle. My question is, can the rock be against the back of the tank, or do I need to move it out a few inches for circulation? There isn't a whole lot of room in the tank if I move it out from the back wall. The picture is with 25lbs of the 30lbs I'm putting in.

You want to have space around the rockwork for water to flow to avoid dead spots, and so u can get your algae scraper to keep the glass clean.
Now there have been plenty of people that have their work work right up on the back wall, and use a small powerhead to create flow to negate that being a dead spot.

Give it some space between your rocks & the back of the tank, if you need to clean makes it easier. And also agree to above comments

From experience I would try and keep a good bit of clearence from the glass. In two areas I really struggle to even get a toothbrush let alone one of the magnetic scrapers in the gap to clean the brown algae that always seems to build in those areas.
