    I'm not sure whether you want to buy a packaged waterfall set or make your own. I've made several by creating a false bottom to accommodate a pump and allow for some water storage capacity. Then I run tubing from the pump and up through the substrate and through a piece of cork bark (after cutting an appropriate hole). I secure the tubing with silicon glue and then build up around the cork bark with rocks, substrate, sphagnum moss, etc. I usually have a pebble lined pool at the bottom of the waterfall. The circulation keeps the water oxygenated so it doesn't get stagnate.

    Actually, I sell a lot of leaves in bulk quantities, but shipping to Canada is a problem. If you look for leaves in your area, look for thick leaves that won't break down too fast. If you want to sterilize them, put them in boiling water for a few minutes and then dry them out. If they can't stand up to that treatment, they probably won't last long in the vivarium.
