My wife bought me a Tetra-fauna viquarium for xmas! She got it at a local lfs for half-price to boot! Heres a pic heavy thread of me installing it in my 55 gal. First pic is of me unwrapping it; and yes I got a Chia Willy head also.
The 1st thing I noticed about the product is the low water level it would create. If put strait into an empty tank and built from there; it put the water level around 5 inches w/ 1" of gravel put into the water section. This was no good to me; I had to find a way to raise the water level. I thought about doing a false bottom out of egg crate but made due with things I already have... I decides to go with brick that I sterilized for a few days. I could only go two brick high, any more and the waterfall would have been sticking out the top of the enclosure. The result 11" of water w/ a 1 1/2" substrate.
