Hello everyone I am near completion of my second tank (20gal long) this tank was going to feature a small pond and a waterfall. Though it did not end up that way LOL funny how things change as you are creating. The tank ended up a river tank made from an old shop vac hose. The tank is not complete but here are some pictures in random order of some of the steps that I took to make this viv!
planting areas using film canisters
Egg crate BTW I found this stuff to be a pain in the butt to work with. Little clippings every where!!!
This was the original idea was to have this piece of wood serve as a little waterfall. Though the line was too small for my pump and I could not track down a reducer. So this was scrapped I just thought it might help someone out who is looking for ideas. I love this wood thought it had great texture!!
This is a shot with the screen added to the egg crate. I use window screening seems to work well for the application1
Adding the fiber to the background.
The shop vac hose. I added silicon to it and put some fiber on the edges and gravel at the bottom. Seems to look natural only time will tell.
fiber and rock added to the hose.
another shot of the river
