Almost finished with this 20"Wx20"Dx16"H acrylic viv. I'll post pics from the ground up, including some of the water feature construction.
The "sub-flooring" (not merely a false bottom and the water feature were definitely the most difficult aspects in this design. The water feature was doubly so, as I wanted to make all the pieces removable for pump servicing and water changes. In addition, the water feature is self-contained(has it's own reservoir), so the water quality at the surface is easily controlled. These custom creations made me wish for some kind of insert available at your nearest Walgreens... hehe But, you can never have things the way you want em unless you DIY. =)
more to come... Mike
