5.5 gal DIY overflow plant tank.
- Thread starter Ken91gsx
- Start date
I remember pictures of your tank and I would like to get some of your design Here are the images that you requested.
The overflow was cut from one piece 1/4" of smoke color plastic that belong to a old table top. I used a acrylic cutter from Homedepot cost $3 and a grinder for the overflow lip.
One cut piece is the width and height of the inside of the tank and the 2nd piece is the height of the tank and the length of the powerhead.

Bogwood placement
At the time this is the only small piece of driftwood I had laying around.
I was wrapped in moss and placed against the overflow.

Plant images
Here is the view walking into my room. I added a grapevine wood since it's the perfect size. Right now it stands out, but later when the plants grow tall, it will help complete the angle.

I still have a lot of work to do to get this tank to the way I vision it. I took pictures of my 10 gal and this 4.5 gal to see if it can compete in the AGA contest level. This 4.5 gal will not meet the AGA deadline, but will prepare for ADA 2004.
