Easiest Small Water Fall EVER - Hermit Crab Tank with pix

[candras]

I wanted to create a more realistic home for my crabbies so I decided to add some sort of water feature. I didn't want to wait 3 days for foam to dry and such by making my own so I decided to have a small pump water to fall over a store bought rock piece.



20 gallon tank start, bamboo mat as background (not in the tank, mounted on wall)



Plants laid out with my little helper :cheer:



I got a Repti flo 200 pump from petsmart which is powerful enough for the small waterfall I was trying to make. I put the cord through a rock feature, which also acts as the cliff for the water to fall onto.

The pump was says fresh water only, I was originally going to put it in my salt water dish but couldn't



Here it is without the plants around it and such. I put the pump in a BPA FREE (highly suggest if using plastic containers to get BPA free kind, it is a toxic estrogen mimicking chemical and is banned in baby bottles) medium deep plastic container and wrapped the tubing so that it will fall down the rock.



Shot of it finished
