Question Rocks placed directly on glass (no sand)? Anyone?

has anyone placed rocks directly into the bottom of the tank (BB), with no eggcrate?

any complaints to that?

If you don't care about the glass getting scratched then its no problem.


I'm tempted to buy some egg crate myself.

My rocks are on the glass for stability. I added a few inches of sand after placing the rocks on the glass just for looks.
