Just my attempt at a sand waterfall. Making it work is not a problem; my problem was deciding what I want to subject my future water babies to! I do not like using paint and cement so I decided on a simple model. The plan is to make it look like a Temple, and all I am using is Styrofoam, hot glue (I do not get along with Silicone!...Hate the stuff , LOL!)...and smashed up slate stone, and of course the fittings that go inside the waterfall....and sand! I will be more specific as I proceed! Have just started this project and since another member expressed interest in seeing some pictures, I will post a few here, but please bear with me as I have just started. Basically I have formed the Temple in Styrofoam and am covering it with pieces of slate. I bought some at a Pet Store and have smashed it up "a little bit"! In the spots/holes that don't get covered with the slate stones I intend to put a blob of glue and pour onto that crushed slate stone. When the Temple is covered I will cut out the backing and place the fittings inside and then, goodness gracious me! I guess I will need the silicone to fasten the Temple to the back of my tank. I already have a like 3D backing made (I have more plans for that also, before I fill the tank; 50 gallons. It will be housing a pair of Pearl Gourami, 7 Diamond Tetra, 11 Emperor Tetra and 4 Panda Cory Cats. Substrate; Carib Sea Tahitian Moonlight, black gravel. Anyway, here are a couple of pictures to start with.
