Hi all,

Am after some opinions from experience. To many this may be a small thing but my tank is going to be in the main room in our house and I want it to look amazing. I am planning on putting in a drainage layer of LECA and above that the substrate of ABG with leaf litter on top. I am using an zoomed tank and it bothers me that I will see the drainage layer from the front. I was planning on using a small false wall about an inch in from the side to retain the drainage layer and then the ABG can fall in front of the false wall so it looks a solid layer. Do you think this would be ok or do I need to be able to monitor the drainage layer for any level rise?

I hope my description has made sense, like I say small thing but I don't want to get the tank all planted up and regret it, either way.

Thanks in advance ,

Marc.
