Yes, NewMariner, you are missing something. The top of this thing has to be hollow to fit a specific powerhead in it, which is the main reason I'm building it-to hide a powerhead. I've considered a lot of different approaches to this project and this is what I've come up with to best suit my situation.

Real mangroves are great, but I don't have room above my tank for one to grow. I've seen some very cool open-top tanks with mangroves.

Yes, there are risks to doing it this way. I'm tweaking as I go. Hopefully I can pull it off!
