The rock extends all the way to the top of the water column. A small piece actually protrudes just above the water but I have a small hole drilled in my return as a syphon break that ripples the surface and keeps the exposed piece moist.

I have heard of people in Japan letting there rock stay exposed and let the return keep it wet too.
Oh yeah your tank is WAY cleaner than mine

Thanks.
I do a 10 gallon per week water change and feed very sparingly. At the same time as the water changes I scrape down the glass and syphon the sand bed.
