It can touch the glass, just make sure its secure so it doesn't shift. Its instability you want to be worried about if it shifts and hits the glass then you'll have a problem.

Oh jeez, yea... don't even want to think of that. Woke up this morning and the watr looks pristine. How long till I can put a clown fish in???
you will want to monitor your nitrates, nitrites, amonia, and ph. It takes a bit for the tank to stabilize, also another check on your salinity and temp doesnt hurt.
ph should be 8.0-8.4
nitrates should be below 30ppm (my personal safety level)
nitrites, should be nearly 0
ammonia, should be at 0
since you just filled the tank, let it run a week, check your levels, then again 2 -3 days later, if they are going up, keep checking every 2-3 days till the fall

Julsy, the tank has been running for 3 weeksjulsy;3275234; said:
just added rock Friday. Temp is 82, PH 8.4, going to test nitrites / ammonia in a bit.
Is the rock live? Or is it just rock? That would make a difference in how long you would need to wait/test..
