In this image, I can't seem to understand the functionality of this false bottom. What I mean is that as I understand it the point of a false bottom is to have a way to collect a water supply and recirculate it without over saturating the land mass. Or simply to separate land from water yet have them interact with each other.
I do not see how this false bottom provides any of these attributes (assuming all pieces are solid glass) I don't see a way for water to enter under the false bottom setup, or collect since there is a hole in the back pane of class. Am I just missing something? Someone help me out here I want to build this but I am obviously not understanding something.
