How close to the surface do you have rock?

Hi all,

I started on the minimal side with rock and have slowly been adding to fill in here and there... my question is how close to the surface do you have rock?

Thanks!

I can't find them at the moment, but there are a couple island reefs on here that have the rock come up out of the water o_O so I would say go as close as youd like :)

I have a piece in my DT that is an inch below waterline, it gets exposed when I do water changes. Home to some palys and zoas.

I have rocks on one of my islands that are just a few inches below the surface.

The corals at the top are out of the water whenever I turn the main pump off for a water change, so they don’t like anything over 30 minutes or so!

Cool - Thanks everyone.

My buddy incorporated a waterfall in his tank. So a good portion of a few rock were out of the water with no issues.

Would love to see some pictures of these tanks you all speak of. Never thought of having rocks come out of the water that is awesome

The highest I would go is 2/3’s up.

Whatever looks good to you - there is no reason to limit it.
