Waterfall! - Aquarium Advice

d9hp · 12-14-2002, 06:51 PM

Hey guys, I dont have a pond but there is a large creek behind my house, I cleaned it up and built a jump for my R/C car over it. That wasnt enough so I built a bridge which did not take long. Then my father told me it would look cool if we built a water fall behind the jump so you would see it behind the car. I took up the challenge and built one with nothing but rocks and leaves. It is really cool and we are going to build another level above it when we can. I think I talked him into a pond so im real happy. Maybe a small 90 gallon with a few plecos and 5 or so Koi! We shall see. If I had a pond I would want a waterfall so I may have to go bigger.

Post some pics? Sounds like a neat project...I'd probably go larger than 90 gal though and I'm not sure how well the plecos will do in the cold water.

Well, I kind of turned it all into a big RC car track, so no more clean. Also, I dont have the money for a pond of any sort. Sorry.
