  • This 2 years old shallow tank had been lying unused for quite some time. The scape took me about 2 months from start to finish. Will be adding fish to this tank soon!

      You can even exclude the styrofoam from the build. I just used it because i didn't trust this old tank which already had a crack that i sealed. Also if you're from US you get egg crates(i think thats what you call it. A plastic grid looking thing). And styrofoam is completely safe too. Have used it in multiple builds 🌿

      Nope it doesn't alter the chemistry in the water. Been doing this past few years with no issues. Although you might need deeper substrate to cover it if you have fish that burrow into it. Make sure its a clean cut with like a hot knife so theres no loose styrofoam particles.
