Hi,

 

Has anyone successfully created a sloping effect on their tanks? 

 

Styrofoam seems popular on other forums but has anyone used it before and knows where to buy them?

 

Thank you

TGM substrate supports or just bits of take away container :) or you can put skinny rocks in to prevent the gravel from rolling down

Yep use stockings with gravel, just need to be careful because your overlying gravel is still of course subject to flow and gravity. If you're planting you have to make sure you have enough overlying gravel to plant out properly.
