Ok, thanks you! I’m still trying to decide which way I want it in the tank. It is definitely going to have some parts of the piece sticking out of the water. Would it be possible at some point to grow terrestrial plans on the out jut? (If I water/spray them occasionally)
Yes this is a possibility (terrestrial plants that do not need a "substrate" but don't ask me which as I don't know offhand) but that means no cover on the tank. Fish will jump, they get startled during the night. Also the evaporation of so much water into the walls/ceiling is not good, nor is the dust collecting on the surface. Then there is the issue of faster-cooling water (or harder working heater) with no cover. It certainly can be done (open top tanks) but it takes some thought and dealing with issues.
