I made a DIY riser for my tank out of .22" acrylic. It has a curved front, a flat back, and I coated it with cork for aesthetics. I made it rise too steeply and the ramp wouldn't hold the substrate, so I have to redesign. I put a couple baffles perpendicular to the rise, but it still wasn't enough to hold the substrate and make a continuous rise without ripples. Are there any best practices or guidelines for slope or other parameters that make risers work well?
