[fishy12]

I want to make a miniature water fall does anyone have ideas. I will use slate for the rock. But is there a small pump or something i cld use to get the water up there?

lower the water level in your tank so that the water falling from the hob is like a water fall

Yea but i want to make it natural looking. Like a real one not filters one. Like a small one i just need the idea for the pump rlly

honestly get one of these filters

and then build your rocks up around it, you can take off the hook that it hangs on the tank from just use the suction cups and the rocks for support and then build up the rocks around it so that it cascades down it gracefully. My buddy had done it in his turtle tank and you can disguise the filter pretty nicely with plants and rocks. Give it a try the filter is only about 20 dollars so what is there to lose? besides 20 dollars which would be cheaper than a pump anyways.

wht is a small pump? Like the ones they used for a fake rock water fall u put in ur house. Like it will catch the water and drop it we use to have one.

you can just get a small submersible fountain pump to sit in the tank, and run a tube up through your rock formation. they make fountain pumps that are pretty small and would be easy to conceal.
