How to create your own underwater waterfall

Ola

Been meaning to post this a while ago.

Have a read here and let's see who's going to give this a go

Cheers
Dale

 

Great stuff Dale - I was going to ask you about this......

 

Man that looks GREAT - I fink I might give it a try --- when I have some time to spare

 

You always have spare time with all 'em tanks you guys have

D

 

Sjoe .... That is good work!

 

'Spare time' ??? What's that????? :rofl: Could someone please explain to me what 'spare' time is?????

 

Sure - Spare time is what Dale Has daily -- He He

 

looks great, dont think i'll get time to try this out

 

I wish.....there's just not enough time in the day

 

Hey, this looks interesting, I'll give it a shot but I'm not gonna use air bubbles to lift the sand. I'll try the eductor method. I've got a spare (really small) pump that should work if I can regulate the flow properly. If I cant, I'll settle for an underwater volcano
I'll take pics and post them, even if I fail horribly and manage to cause an explosion.

 

Ok schweet, looking forward to your progress mate

Cheers

Ok, so I've done some experimenting. The small pump i had didn't do the job (the sand i have is too heavy) so I'm gonna use a bigger pump.
The trial worked 100%, got sand sucked up through a hole in the pipe and flowing out the other side

I've just gotta try slow down the flow, prob gonna use a larger diameter pipe or split the flow. Don't have pics yet coz I've just been experimenting in big bucket

Bought some t-pieces and 90 degree bends and will see if I have time over the weekend to build something worth showing.

Using wather flow rather than air bubbles seems better because u don't have to try hide the bubbles behind something.

Later....

 

I am so looking forward to seeing pics!

POST PICS..... EVEN OF THE BUCKET......
I WANNA SEE PROGRESS..(oR WET FLOORS)
