You might have some trouble cleaning the glass on the left side of the tank. The rock looks awfully close to the glass. Probably a bit late to be moving stuff around now, but if you can do it without causing a huge mess, you might want to try to move it enough to allow access to that part of the glass with the mag float.

Well if you're satisfied with it that way then just leave it. I felt the same way as you many years ago when I set up my first tank. It didn't take too long for me to regret putting that rock right up on the glass.
