River Tank Kit??????

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
looks like a fancy sump without media. which means it shouldn't be too hard to set up with your own rock formations. I'd design it myself and then work on isolating the tiers.
 
:iagree: just get some acrylic and silicone it to the inside, then hide this with natural rocks. its not the hard to build. i have seen these in person before, and they don't hide the work much better than a DIY would. they are really expensive (or at least were in the 90s when i saw them around lots). its a pretty cool setup though. you can do lots with it. you could be way more creative with the tank and create a palladarium with fish, newts, snail...... possibilities are endless!

The endless possibilities and diversity of such a tank is what has me so intrigued.

I think I am going to go buy the acrylic. I will use aquarium safe silicone and glue the rocks down and put sand in the gaps to make it look natural. I could use 2" acrylic tubing as planting pockets in the upper level. Im also thinking about a moss backdrop instead of rock.

I need to go to home depot;)
 
you could even use pieces of styrofoam block, carve them out, paint them (fish safe of course), glue them to the back and use them as planting pockets. another option is using pieces of acrylic glued together to form pockets. you have a lot of freedom with what supplies and materials you use to build with as well
 
I have some 24" x 36" x 2" sheets styrofoam in the garage, .......ohhhh thats a great idea.
