jeremoose Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Aloha! Anyone ever used tenplast to create slopes in their aquarium? If you don't know what tenplast is, it's basically plastic cardboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckmullin Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Know what it is but why? The only reason would be to save of weight of substrate. I've already created slopes with sand/gravel/rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishclubgirl Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 that looks suspiciously like coroplast which would float so you'd have to weigh it down. If you want to use it, get it from a sign supply wholesaler and you'll get a much better deal than Home Depot. It's great for a cheap tank lid or works well as a background.

To create the exact slopes and contours I want as well as "cliff" walls and whatnot without having to worry about the hills and whatnot deteriorating once there gets to be some flow in the tank.

The few spots I need it, it will be siliconed right into the tank, so floating shouldn't be an issue. Thanks for the heads-up though!
