I was hoping to avoid very visible and artificial-looking supports, so I was thinking of gluing the piece of driftwood in the picture to the platform, plus another one I just got today to put underneath, for added stability. Do you think it won't be enough? I guess I'll see and if it doesn't...

Uhm, did I make a mistake in uploading the pictures? They show on my previews and I can see them posted. I was thinking of sectioning just about half of the shelf to actually fill with dirt and land plants, and on the other half grow UG and HC rooted in moss or something like that, so hopefully...

There is no "Home Depot" or "Great Stuff" where I live :rofl: Anyway, the clay is not really what I'm worried about, as I've read that it should be aquarium safe even without sealants. I'm more worried about the stability of the whole thing, and a bit unsure about my planting choices. Thank you...
