The fish were delivered for my river. Now is my challenge. I am doing the next process untested.
I started by filling my base with sand. Most of the sand will be dumped out later. I formed a river in the sand placing some rocks along the side and bottom. Then I mixed up a batch of bar top coating (EnviroTex Lite, pour-on High Gloss Finish).

I poured about 4 ounces into my river bed making sure that I got the sand and rocks on the side and ends. Even as the extra seeps into the sand around it will keep it's glossy "wet" appearance. I was originally concerned about too much surrounding sand being removed when everything is set. Now I am curious to know how much sand will remain.

I may need to buy another batch of bar top coating. I only had partial bottles left. I had done a few projects in the past that needed it. Don't oo and ah my creativity of a river. I had seen it at a craft show where a man had made a log bench. The log had a rotten spot in the center and the man used that rotten area to create a river with fish and plastic plants. His was a much larger scale. I thought to myself, "I need to try that some time!" Today is my sometime. With the thickness of the bar top coating, it might take all week to dry.
