Ok I have a false bottom installed but I think it is a little to high for what I wanted. I wanted to put a semi pond in the tank and may have kinda screwed up. My false bottom is about 4 inches tall ( see told ya I think I screwed up). In order for my semi pond to work I would need to either have 3 1/2 -4 inches of standing water in the bottom or fill the bottom up with rock. I was planning on putting 3 inches of rock in my pond and having about 1/2 an inch of water in it. Do I also have to put drainage material under the soil even though my water level in the bottom will not touch the water level? It all looked good to me when I was doing it and now I think I may have just created a huge mess. WHY oh WHY did I want a false bottom when I wasn't planning on having a filter????? Is it to late to remove the false bottom now that I have the GS and the coco fiber on the back?
