In this one, I make a unique type of aquarium that I've had in concept for awhile now. It uses a few of the concepts from the upflow overflow aquascape (   • Upflow Overflow (Infinity) Bog Filter...  ), but with its own sort of twist and flavor. What do you think of the result?

As you well know, I really like the idea of using riparian (emersed) plant growth to filter my tanks. They're very effective at doing so and they look great in the process. In this instance, I decided to create an upflow filter system with a few glass orbs and other materials I had around the house.

I've also seen a few comments recently that wanted me to outline the deconstruction and build process of making tanks in more detail. I took the opportunity to share that since I was doing it already. Like I said though, it's easier to buy a premade enclosure or get precut glass from a local glazier. Do so at your own discretion and be sure to wear gloves and safety goggles.
