So here is a brief overview of my most recent project. It basically is a regular aquarium built for easy maintenance with a little extra flare. Like in the title I was roughly trying to recreate the bank of a Central American cichlid habitat.

I started out with a tank I built a few years back and a log I stole out of the local park that washed up during a relatively recent bout of highwater. I had to trim the main part down a bit.

Then I purchased a few bromeliads and attached them to my stump via fishing line.

Next I added a few rocks.

Finally I added some substrate and attached some orchids and moss. That pretty much sums up the project. Here's the end product.

Beautiful tank and great idea. Would love to do something like this!!
 
Very good concept.
 
I love the way you made the whole thing sound as easy as wetting your pants. Looks fantastic.

What's going in it?
 
nice setup :)
 
That looks wicked. Whats your stocklist going to be? and what size tank is that?
