Live rock placement

[whoisLP]

I'm brand new to this hobby and this is my first build. Are the rocks at a good location or should they be moved? Didn't know if they were too close to the glass or not.

Welcome to the madness! You're in the right place for sound advice and helpful people. Congrats on the new venture! As long as they are a solid structure, safe from toppling over and enough space between them and glass for a magnetic cleaner you should be good. Also, are they touching the glass on the bottom or sitting on sand? If sitting on sand, keep in mind that any sand dwellers may disturb the sand under the rocks leading to instability.

Thanks for the feedback Maddness. I did put the sand in first but made sure I wiggled the rock deep enough to touch the glass. I'll have to check if my magnetic cleaner clears the rock though. Didn't think of that. Thanks again!
