I don't know if you guys have seen his videos before or not but he is good.

Wow, this is amazing! I don't think I'd have the patience to ever do this

I visited his website http://www.lizard-landscapes.com/ and he not only does waterfalls but rock climbs backgrounds and castles. He is seriously good and, im not pro, but it seems like he nailed all of the pet friendly products!

I love his vids! He is very detailed and thorough. I am planning to do one of his someday, but i just need the time.


Crabbers unite!!!

Yeah i am gearing up for one right now, but i want it to be more than a waterfall, i want it to be a waterfall geared towards my hermit crabs swimming habits. Along with a hidey hut, a climbing wall, a staircase, a way for them to get upside down, and a little outcropping for them to sit behind and on top of the waterfall. And i want it to be easy to clean and non permanent, while not taking up to much space in my 40g.

I'm 99% sure I'm going to upgrade around Christmas, now my ideas are really coming. I just don't know if I'll have enough room Maybe a small one for a corner?

What are you upgrading to? And i am trying to keep my ideas as compact but space efficient as possible. And i figure if they can bury under it but still climb, hide, swim, and walk all over the waterfall it will be worth the far end of my tank.

I probably won't be able to do it thinking some more about it. It is a going to be around 32 ish gallons if I can get everything to work. I think it'll take up too much room

Hmm yeah thats why i couldn't do it in my 20g because anything big enough to swim in eventually took up to much space. Do you have a lot of height to your tank?

I'm not even sure i can do a waterfall in my 75gal. After the substrate is in, it just doesnt seem reasonable, unless the resevoir was below ground, sacrificing molting space. I think i'd need at least 90g, preferably 120g to have a waterfall. But that'd be BEASTLY!

I'm going to try and add an extra 5g tank as a topper. Assuming I can do that I'll have a reasonable amount of height. I don't know how much because I don't know how much more sub I'm gonna add. But should be 5-9 inches or more

Maybe you could add some kind of tall fall part onto your current water dish?

And yeah YYWW i could never fit one of that guys' in my tat. I would modify and customize to fit my tank and my crabs etc.

Possible, I'm not sure I'll have funds left after I get everything else ready but we'll see

I've thought about taking the smallest pet fountains and covering with rock. They have a smaller footprint but no removable pond. I want a waterfall and pond but I need a huge (or at least significantly larger) 'tat before I can consider it.
