I'm making a beach tank with play sand for mudskippers and I'm worried that the sand will flatten out over time. Is there a good way to make a slope that keeps its shape?

I'll have some big rocks buried, but in the past I've still had to fix the slope every once in a while because my frog uncovered the rocks when it bounced around. Would a layer of 1/2" pea gravel under the sand help, or would it just get mixed into the sand eventually?MacZ said:I did some kind of bank in my tank too, and recently build a paludarium. Better use bigger rocks to build steps, otherwise the sandbank will likely flatten down more and more.
I would say it will mix eventually. Maybe putting a plastic or acrylic divider into the tank, like a lawn edge. It can be hidden with some pebbles or rock.wishuponafish said:I'll have some big rocks buried, but in the past I've still had to fix the slope every once in a while because my frog uncovered the rocks when it bounced around.

Hydor Koralia nano is my favoriteBellasmith said:I also use wavemaker for my tank. This helps my fish feel like living in a natural habitat giving them delight and comfort.
