A few years ago (2018) I wanted to make my little 10 gallon frag tank more interesting and natural looking. I took some pvc pipe and acrylic sheets to make little "tables".

Then I roughed the pipes up using a dremel.

I used a product called Apoxie Scuplt and added a rock-like surface to the pipes.

Then I drilled holes in the acrylic table tops and added Apoxie Scupt to them as well.

The center structure hides the heater and MP10 powerhead which point toward the front glass. No skimmer or any filtration. Weekly water changes seem to do the trick.
