The fact you rescaped the two mountains so many times plus had to make it so the sand coming form the top ends up at the spot on the bottom where it will feed it back to the top. That’s crazy man. Epic

that right . I have some video do too

man this is beautiful, i can’t wait to see what else you do with it. probably my favorite one so far!

A cool idea. The faux rock is genius! I’m trying to think of what I want to do with my new Waterbox Clear 16.

Ahhh I just set up my new tank I got for Christmas. I wish I saw this video before I set it up. It's so beautiful!

Always fun to see you make these creative things! Keep it up!😊😉

What an absolutely awesome build Mike 👍 great tutorial!! I absolutely love the sand fountains❤️🌿🐟🌿🙏

looks noice I still love how the sand flows it looks so cool!

Love the retro wave plus the scapes 😳

This is Incredible... I am a newbie to aquariums and this is art 🥰

Tank looks amazing, Happy & Safe 2021.

one of my favorite builds!!!

Love it!!! I definitely need some Monte Carlo great work

This tank is incredible!

This is amazing dude, looks so so good! 😍

Absolutely beautiful!

Very beautiful aquascape! You always do an amazing job

This tank looks amazing

Really nice Mike, absolutely beautiful (even with fake rocks 😉). Keep up the good work like always!

Duuuude I have mine sitting next to the tank about to go in. I can’t wait!

This is very cool. Well done.

Wow nice!! My next tank is def a waterfall design lol

Now that's a lot of dedication and patience, excellent stuff....

Looks dope. Great job

Really amazing hardscape work. Deffo think you should go with nano plants. Also what about adding the mist/fog on the surface give it even more of an enchanting look. But I'm definitely inspired

Very cool setup!

This is really really cool man! So neat! Never seen anything like this!

👍👍👍👍. I have some video make by myself too friend

Do a mini hair grass carpet and add some hydrocottle as an epiphyte and in the substratez the carpet will help sand stop coming into the soil

Wow that great with design and construction friend

Thanks, very interesting and beatuful!!!

I reckon this would look good with black quartz gravel too. Having the shimmering crystals fall down would look great

Super rad, nice one.

Looking very good my friend

Brilliant, i loved the original, this one is great too, just plug the soil with loads more monte-carlo, it would make for a brilliant miniature scape, makes it look like a huuuuge landscape, keep it up, love your videos 👍👍👌🏻

Looks awesome already, but will look soo good once the rest of the tank is planted. Have you ever produced a mudskipper tank with rising and falling tides? Would be great to see 👍

I like it. It was very unique.

GREAT ART WORK!!

Epic scape bro💯

Always wanted to know how this is done. Thanks!

ilove your doing with your tank..water sand fall..wow so amazing..love it🥰😍😘💖

Massive fan of the channel brother

👏👏👏👏 One word...... Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Wow amazing.

Cool stuff.

So long haven’t your great vlog !!!

The sand being recycled back through the hole reminds me of that quarter machine where a pile of quarters fill up the back part to push the coins forward and down. A YT’er in vietnam did a diy vid of the sand fall using this same method. Would be cool to see this in a nano tank too.

Wow amazing

Very original!!

First off; happy New Year brother! I can’t believe I’ve missed out on the past five months of Aquapros. I started uploading & you’d think I forgot where I came from all of a sudden. I got some serious binging to do later on this evening. This is an amazing build. Of course I remember your trials & tribulations with the sand waterfall; in fact, I got it in a playlist for my future plans of my plywood build. This is beyond next level though. I wonder if a double fall could be possible with the use of a singular power head. I may have asked this years ago in one of your older videos. Oh; this is going to be an entertaining evening tonight. Thanks for all you do brother. I not only enjoy, but miss your content. Untucking & retooling that bell so I can make sure I get some notifications going forward. Happy New Year again brother!🙏🏾❤️✊🏾💪🏾

Wow...never seen something like this before, cool! Would washing the sand beforehand help against this cloudiness?

Great bro

I love the fact using the biggest knife he has to open the box and id do the same thing

I've been cleaning my (construction) sand first with water, before putting it in my aquarium, so it won't make the water cloudy in the tank. Haven't made one of these beautiful sandfalls yet, but I'd imagine, that washing the sand before putting it in the tank, might help as well? Anyhow, gonna watch the update videos on this later on. can't wait to see how it all turns out in the end and what kind of thoughts you'll have. I mean, you might actually have remedied this cloudy water problem by now anyway xD haha

Awesome build!! Curious, instead of an acrylic flap, would a check valve work as well?

You have my respect trying the sanding falls..I tried them few times... failed.. However, I will try it again😁👍

Completely new to aquariums, let alone the awesome 'scaping element. Instead of silicone could you drill and link the artificial stones with stainless rods/ cotter pin type fixings? Does stainless steel affect the tanks? Thanks for the videos.

Amazing! I want to build a mountain looking scape minus the sand waterfalls lol 😂

This is so awesome. Just curious where you bought the artificial rocks and what are they called. Love your videos by the way

In regard to the sand. Is it worth having a seperate tank with a simple fall to condition the sand or does it need to take place in the tank that is going to be the waterfall tank? Info appreciated and thak you for the videos.

Amazing

This looks amazing. One thing I'll say is that you could've just added a filter with a fine filter pad to remove the cloudiness from the fine sand particles.

The bags say to rinse the sand before use to remove lose particles and it looks like he didn't bother rinsing it before he put it in the tank. I'm sure if he just did that he wouldn't have issues with the water clouding up.

This is one of my favourite tanks ever! Absolutely love it. Have you considered washing the sand before adding to the tank to prevent the cloudyness?

I tried that the first time, did not have a noticable effect if i remember correctly :(

Never expect to see a sandy fall

The amount of work and time he attempt, I give up

Do the Oase Canister Filters you link to offsite fail and overspill if there are power outages? I have had different canister filters in the past that would leave the top tank empty and all the water on the floor. Had to switch to mainly hang off the back types.

Mike... YOU STILL GOT IT

Hahah thanks Chris! 👍🥳🤠🤠🤠

Amazing! But will the sand wear out the pumps?

You could use sugar sand, it is naturally white with no coating. It is finer particles though, so I don't know how that would affect the flow of the sand.

Hope I can do that later in the future

Hope you got some Seachem PhosGuard/PhosBond in the canister filters to avoid silicate diatom algae :)

I see you're getting amazing flow. With mine I'm getting pressure blow back with little flow. Any advice?

I'm having issues trying to figure out how to connect the pipe to the pump with the different sizes and connections. I wanted to use 1" pipe, but had to do 1/2" inch to be able to fit it onto the connection at the pump. I'm going to see if I can get a connector tomorrow to connect 1/2" to 1" pipe.

Hey great video! ⛲ btw why are your tanks not covered? I'd be afraid of jumpers.

new subscriber.. a little late.. I LOVE YOUR VIDS

Nice

Been having trouble getting sand to flow through. Guessing with the T fitting that has to be cut. First attempt sand was getting pushed back up into the holder. Assuming to much water was getting through. Second attempt different angel this time on the T fitting and solved water backflow issue but not any sand was getting pushed through ugh..any suggestions?

Trying to figure this out. Tried to do it in my tank, the sand is just getting pushed up through the intake instead of carried through, any suggestions?

This scape gave me an idea, what if you did a tank or a collection of tanks like the four seasons

a carpet would look great!

Out of pure curiosity, how many Current USA stone kits did you end up using for this build? I just ordered my second set...yours looks like quite a few sets! 😱

Hello Sir, can I use White Sea sand for the waterfalls?? Pls advise, ty. 🙏

Can I put fish like corys inside this kind of sand waterfall tank? Or would they mess up the whole system?

Would be cool if the back ended in some kind of tunnel. In the netherlands we have got so called ecoducts. Something like that would be cool.

I'm trying to make this and water is coming out the top of the T pushing the sand out instead of pulling it in. I watched the other DIY video for it and made sure to put the 45 piece cut into it to make a venturi system, but it's still coming out the top of the T. Have you ran into this issue and do you know how to fix it?

@@brianmuench3853 From what I gather, there's too much back pressure and that's why water is coming out the T. On hinsdsight, I think if I moved the sand catch to just before the last bend, then that might fix the issue. But it's so much piping to hide, plus the T issue, that I ended up just using the bubbler/air powered version instead and that is working fine, minus all the pipes. Just have to make sure to put something at the output to direct the bubbles back so it doesn't ruin the look. Hope that helps.

@@anthonyjserianni2268 I bought a couple T's to try variants with... my first attempt is to put the 45 piece in well past the sand input in the T, hoping the water would rather keep moving forward than up and backwards out. I also think I haven't had enough sand on it. In some of these videos at the start you can see that same "swirling" at the top of the T, and I'm thinking deeper sand/deeper swirling. I tried the bubbler but I wasn't happy with the bubbles even coming out the back, so I'm kind of all in on this method. Thanks for the response though! Try, try again...

Just got in my mind, what if you use coffee filter paper to get rid of the blurry water? Maybe they can capture the smallest particles that cause blurriness 🤷

Is it staying cloudy because the sand is too fine? Perhaps using larger sand particles like cichlid sand may help?

@montydurand467

It gets so cloudy because he didn't rinse the sand before putting in thr tank like he's supposed to, it even says to do it on the bags.

To remedy the how clowdy the water gets and to have it take less time for the water to go clear can't you just wash and rinse the sand in a separate bucket before adding it? The bags even say on them to rinse the sand first before using it to remove lose particles so I'm wondering why you just added it straight from the bag?

What do you use for taking the water out

How much sand would I need just for waterfall? I will be putting rocks and plants around it, and can I get the sand at a pet store, what kind of sand?

I think dwarf grass would be great to fill in

Hi, how are the "stones" made, do you use styrofoams cut in stone shapes and then had them spray-painted? And may I know what's the name of the black glue you used in the video? Thank you!

Obviously I'm not Aquapros but ... the faux stone is made of resin by Current (current-usa dot com). The black adhesive stuff is expanding foam; I personally use Great Stuff brand; specifically the one labeled Gaps and Cracks which is a cheap option. It's yellow but I cover it with silicone and rock chips or cocofiber depending on what I'm doing with it. Another option is the Great Stuff Pond and Stone which is a black version. t's a bit more expensive. I am not sure which other versions and brands are safe, as Great Stuff Gaps and Cracks is cheap and works great and I haven't bothered looking up further information.

@@Tser Thanks! I made a quick search on a major online retailer in my country on 'expanding foam', and most of the early results came out to be a product from Selleys. I am a newbie in all this. Then I Google-Imaged the brand, I can see that the product makes white foam instead of black. I'm not sure if this can be used underwater for aquascape too.

White white sand did u use?

I clean the silica sand before take into tank..its make water not too cloudy

Always wanted real but... now I think the faux rocks are smart... don't gotta worry about it dropping and scratching the tank

can you show me where you got these stones please?

Turn the elbow on the sand-inlet 90 to 180 degrees. like a vacuum
