Making a waterfall?

[ReptileLady]

Looking to make a waterfall but havn't a clue what I need really. I know I'll need a pump of some description and a tube..but that's as far as I've got does anyone here have any advice on setting one up? What sort of pump do I need, what tubing and so on..

Or should I just go for the zoomed waterfall kit? Is there any way to get a stronger 'flow' than that shown on the box?

Any help greatly appreciated

You could use a small water pump from a water feature, or a very small water feature depending on the size of your viv? I have seen small trinket waterfalls for peoples houses you could use?

Try garden centre's or B&Q etc, failing that you may be better just buying one designed for reptile?

Hope this was of any use?

Hiya,

is there a difference in the type of pumps you can get?

yeah i bought an exo pump at first it was no were near powerfull enough , so then i ended up buying a small aquarium pump from pets at home.

on the box it should say how far it can pump water up to.

waterfalls are very very difficult to maintain i switched mine off after about 6 or 7 months due to having so many problems , i would not recomend installing one, and i think youl find there are a lot of others on here that would also agree.
