Default Need Creative Advise On A Six Tank Set Up

Need Creative Advice On A Six Tank Set Up
I have read tons of post from people wanting to do a multi species vivarium. So I have came up with a way without risking animal health and still have the aesthetics of a large multi species set up. Now comes the advise part. I am going to build a rack that would hold six ten gallon tanks (two wide & three tall) with an access door between each row. There would also be a strip down the middle between the two tanks. My goal would be to make it appear as if it were one large tank. I would want a water feature in it to appear to run from the top or the middle tank to the bottom. I am looking for suggestions on different options for this, and some logistical ideas on the water feature. I need ideas on animals, fish and plant themes. I have it all drawn out on M/S Word, but can not get it to attach. I would be more then happy to email it to you. Thanks for any help.

The bottom two tanks would be completely aquatic, three to four of the top tanks would have a waterfall that would be made to look like they run into the bottom. I can email you a word document with a rough idea drawing if you want. I dont really know how to explain it. I think I got it posted below
