Jen has kindly supplied me with a tank. Good condition and clean.
A quick, (better than last picture), design I have in mind is...
Sorry, its kind of hard to see but still.
The tank is 62 x 30 x 35 (approx.)
The terrestrial segment will be constructed out of polystyrene and then covered in gravel, earth, and maybe peat for a natural look.
Challenges ahead of me...
- The actual sculpting of the polystyrene
- Background
- Filter.
Ideas
- The land sculpting shouldn't be too difficult as it will be smooth, but it is still something I haven't done before..
- The Background! I think I will do this out of polystyrene as well, but, because it will be very visible and detailed, I have a feeling I will Stuff it up lots - Tips would be appreciated. :lol:
- Filter... As there is not much room for a filter (or heater), I have thought that I could cut a small 4cm x 4cm underneath the land polystyrene. It will probably go around a corner or something for water flow, and have a power head in the middle. I could put some small filter media in there too for the bacteria and maybe a small heater If it fits. I'm sure I could find some small netting that could cover up the inlet/outlet and then cover it in gravel.
Do You Think This Is Possible??
As for flora and fauna, That is still weeks away so I'm trying not to focus on that for now. But I have some ideas...
I will keep this updated (with photos) as I go.
:lol:
