WaterFall in Aquarium

Unread post by asheesh »

Finally after so many days it working successfully.
Things Needed
1. Styrofoam
2. Cement
3. PVC pipe
4. Airline
5. Airpump
6. fine white sand

first you need to know how does it work which is demonstrated in my diagram below

once you have the material ready
1. connect the pipes as show in the diagram and cut the holes where from sand will enter and exit
2. Cover it with Styrofoam so that pipes are not visible and form a mountain like look
3. Use fevikol to join the Styrofoam
4. Use hot soldering iron to scape the Styrofoam
5. Once your mountain scape is ready make cement and water paste(very thin) and cover Styrofoam with it using a paint brush
6. Let it dry and cover it again for 5 times
7. Now your mountain is ready, however when you put it in the water it will float, so we need to remove the Styrofoam
8. Turn the mountain upside down and remove the Styrofoam using knife, fire or acetone
9. Once removed fill the space with mixture of sand, cement and water and let it dry
10 Once its dry you can use normal water paint to paint it and give it a mountain look
11. Once it dries cover it with a few coats of clear epoxy resin
12. Connect airline and pump and put it in water
13. Slowly pour the white sand in the inlet portion and you are set

Below is the finished product in the video
