I am thinking of making some serious banks in the main tank up to I guess about 15" high. What would be the best way to do it to keep the risk of them turning anaerobic and toxic as low as possible?

Could I use bricks or concrete blocks to take up the void and put the substrate ( cat litter ) on top?
 
no bricks or concrete. you could use inert stone or pumice in stockings.
 
A fair few people use alfagrog media wrapped in stockings :thumbup:
 
If I need to make a very steep/deep bank. You can use bricks but make sure they are engineering bricks - the blue/greyones.
You can also use Lava rocks/cobbles etc in stockings.
In the past I have also used storage boxes drilled so that they sink,With a few rocks in them. And they also Make Great Cave systems, if you use plumbing pipes to connect to them.
