^ Yes, thats probably the most important thing i forgot to mention is Plan, Plan, then go back and plan some more...
I seriously went through like a week of just looking at an empty tank and trying to think of ways to setup the land / water areas and how to support it... i'll even admit that during the process of building a lot of the things, i turned around destroyed certain items and started over from scratch just because i thought of better ways to do a certain process...
For example, the waterfall idea i originally had was just a piece of PVC pipe cut, which was coated in silicone and had sand placed on it... and as you can see from my project now, its a waterfall made from slate instead...
So really, i would advise you to try and come up with some sort of plan of action, then get the materials you need and slowly start building...
Either way, best of luck with your project, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask and i'll do my best to help in whatever way i can...
