    To touch the back or not to touch the back - that is the question

    Hi team, I have an aio that has the hard plastic back. I’m thinking about doing some aquascaping and back in ye old days I had stacked rock and leaned some of it against the back of the tank. Do you think it’s better to avoid that if possible? My tank is a cube so it would be easy enough to avoid.
