I am a saltwater novice and I'm starting to theorize the formation of rock 'reef' structure for the 90 gal tank we are putting together. The tank is an Aqueon 90 "reef ready" which has an approx 48"x18" footprint (25" tall). There is a plastic overflow/weir offset towards the left side on the back side of the tank that sticks out about 5" into the tank. Since the tank is only 18" deep the plastic overflow intrudes considerably into the space available for building a rock reef. Therefore I was wondering whether it's ok for any of the rock to be touching the plastic overflow? I have read that most people advise for rock not to be placed against the back GLASS, but what about the plastic?
My current theory/vision is to have two reef 'mounds' connected by a lower rock section with the taller 'mound' on the left side of the tank (in order to hide/disguise the plastic overflow)
Thoughts/comments/questions?
Thanks.
