Abstract

A molded structure which may be placed within a tank such as an aquarium to provide separate land and water areas which are capable of providing realistic and healthy living environments for fish, amphibians and reptiles. Preferably, the structure is molded such that it simulates realistic land and water environments. For example, the water area preferably provides the cliff and cave-like areas preferred by aquatic life. On the other hand, the interface between the land and water portions is preferably sloped in portions to provide an amphibian friendly surface, while the land area may include depressions for the maintenance of plant life. In the preferred embodiment, the back and underside of the unit is hollow to incorporate a filter media, pump, heater, additional aeration device or any other such desired apparatus. In an especially preferred embodiment, small openings are provided along the base to allow water to be drawn through the gravel in front of the unit to provide additional filtration.
