Thank Eddy.. Got you to help me out on the basic. If not I wont be able to do it...
I dont really have the step by step picture, but i think 3 of the picture will tell the detail of it..

First step

Second step

Spray the egg crate with expanded foam. Attach the rock on the top left hand side to let the water flow down like a waterfall..

[reborn4ever]

Third step

Stick the coconut chip

Hey Marcus

Wow, that very creative way you put the flat slabs to the foam to create a waterfall!!
Mind share with me what adhesive do you use for bonding the coconut's crisps to the foam wall?

your thoughts please..

Thank for viewing eddy, It W5..

think you should remove the moss from the waterfall , they look nicely stack up , cover by moss cant see the flow

Do I need to check for anything to see if it is aquarium safe?

Hi avant

I can see that you are soon to built palu/viva project real soon.

Just point us what materials do you like to be built...background or land? I'll able to give you some pointers if you like.

let me know your thoughts

Eddy,
Yup. Considering a paludarium setup at my new place but the area is a bit tight as I can only have it at the service yard. I will still sourcing for some design ideas to see whether it is feasible.
I am considering doing a slim profile river bed set up with a small portion of land and/or vertical garden area. Maybe once i have the rough designs, i would share them with you so that you can provide your expert advice!

I not sure what the name of the plant.. But you can find it around your area.... It free..

[reborn4ever]

Do I need to check for anything to see if it is aquarium safe?

No.. I use it for many project of mine and I don't see any problem.. But spray it in a open area away from your kids...

[reborn4ever]

reborn4ever. u mind taking a closer pic of the plant?

Sorry man, I don't have a good camera to take a clear picture of it.. But it look like star moss to me

[reborn4ever]

Update... Feel that the tank is too plain so add some plant in it... Please comment. Thanks
