Hey derk,
Not bad at all. It's pretty nice and would look better if there is more sand flowing. Maybe you can share with us some pictures of its construction?
Hi guys, thought I'd share something that i DIY-ed last weekend..
It's an underwater waterfall that I saw online, so I'd thought I would give it a shot.. took me 3 failed prototypes before I got it to work properly..heh..
It's still not very good, but I think it'll suffice for now, let me know what you guys think yea?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Sheesh.... work is really keeping me away from my hobby
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
nice! i agree that maybe more sand will be nicer, so it looks thicker and more visible. but i must say a really good attempt.

Any pointers to take note when constructing one?
Oh hmm, the basic setup was shown on Aquatic Eden i think...

Though i suspect making one from scratch is probably much more complex than the blog makes it sound
Very good effort and it looks very nice.
I used to have 1 from Qian Hu with a rock waterfall but the sand was pick by the fishes and dump everwhere, in the end the waterfall 'dried up'

Thanks for the comments
Its not tough to make it really, mine was made of acrylic bought from artfriend.
Important to make sure the space at the back, where the bubbles push the sand up, is not too large, so that the sand is pushed out of the opening at the top, instead of staying inside.
Also, the sand must be fine, but not too fine. Sand that is too fine tends to get pushed too far forward and to the sides.
Need to experiment with the different sand sizes and power of the air pump in order to achieve the best combination
that's something new! nice try. i like it
very interesting indeed.
very nice and very creative. well done..
