After months and months of planning and plenty of Doh! moments...here is what I came up with. I'm very proud of this considering the few "fish tanks" I had before this. If you could call them fish tanks. Probably more like tanks with water and fish in them.
None of this was spur of the moment. Everything...I mean EVERYTHING was drawn out on paper and planned out in my head in advance.
The pictures aren't the best quality, but they will do for now. I'll have some better ones up when I get some free time. These are from when I first set it up about 6 months ago. Let me know what you think. Questions, comments or advice is welcomed!
Here is when I had it all leveled up, cleaned, background installed and ready for gravel/decorations. Notice the crazy amount of shims. That's a basement apartment for ya. haha
Here is the sandstone retaining wall that I made.
With sand and gravel added. Surprisingly the wall worked! It even looks better than I hoped for.
With all plants and decorations added.
Finally...adding water.
Done!!! Gotta love all those stupid bubbles. *SUPERSMIL
Here a better front shot about 4 months after initial set-up.
