Wider in front and narrower at the back. If you are able to make it zigzag would be even better.

If u add the "white sand" to create the "valley", suggest u make it like shifu lhsaw mentioned, narrow at the back, wider in the front.

But then ur tank is no longer iwagumi style. It become valley scape
