Materials for waterfall:
A butter dish cut down to about 3"
His water dish, but I drilled 2 ~3mm holes in the bottom
A pump I ripped from an old fountain we had laying around
Flat rocks I had from when I built an area for my bearded dragon
Cling wrap
How I put it together:
Put the butter dish in the tank about 2" from the side. Packed around it with some eco earth to hold steady.
Put the pump in the dish.
Stacked the rocks about even with the butter dish.
Put his water dish on top of the butter dish, leaving some room for the tube from the pump to get through.
Stacked more rocks around it.
Made a funnel for the water to go through and wrapped it in cling wrap to minimize any spillage.
Stacked the last few rocks on top of the tube to hold it down and cover it up.
Filled in the sides with more eco earth, added water, turned it on and boom.
A completely free waterfall.
I'm going to invest in an actual decent pump once I get some extra cash.
Also, if anyone knows how to avoid getting build-up in the holes of his dish, that would be great.
(I apologize for the poor quality picture. Camera phones are no bueno. He hopped in it almost immediately after getting it set up. Thats what the big blurry thing is.)
