Creating Terraces in a Planted Tank - APE - Aquatic Plant Enthusiasts

Anyone with experience making terraces in a planted tank?

At the lfs they have several tanks setup with multi walled terraces.

I did find Sand Banks made by ZanUSA at F&S (CD35744). However I was thinking about creating a multi wall terrace along my tank's back wall, so I would need some long, straight runs.

I don't want to glue glass or plexi to the bottom, as I wouldn't keep this permanently.

I am looking for pre made retainer walls made of resin or plastic. ( Don't want excessive weight on the bottom glass of the tank.)

Do they make retainer walls for fish tanks?

We checked out what is made for reptile tanks and did not find anything suitable.
