does anyone have any idea how i could make a land area like that in my tank? how would i get it to stick to the side and not fall off with the gravel in it?

.

while waterproofed paper-mache might work, to reproduce the type of land area in the picture you'll need glass and silicon aquarium sealant. lowe's or some other hardware store will probably cut the glass to the size you need, and it's not very expensive. just make sure to measure the INSIDE dimensions of your tank. you can prop the glass up on books while the silicon dries.

What do you mean make? Do you mean fabricate and build? If that is the case, then the cheapest way might be to use paper mache.

make a basic wireframe of your area using wire or coat hanger, and then go at it with paper and glue. make sure to do a number of layers so its strong.
youll then want to water proof it using an epoxy or silicone coating.

u can buy the rubber suckers at various stores.

If you alreay have a platform, you can use either suction cup things, or silicon glue.
