Enclosures with waterfalls/water features

[JungleGuy]

hey, i was wondering if anyone had built enclosures with waterfalls or water features and how difficult they are to make. Photos of builds would also be awesome.
thanks

Thanks kev that video helped heaps!! Barf did you have to worry about humidity in your mertens enclosure?

 

[GeneticProject]

Yeah, the mercury vapour being placed over the water creates humidity. Works quite well.

thats easy then, did you just seal it with aquarium silicon?

 

[GeneticProject]

Yeah. I used neutral cure sealant which had very little odour and vapour. And left it to dry for a week or 2.

Most of ours have waterfalls and aquariums in them

2 most important factors be very mindful of splashing, a couple of drops here and there turn into litres per hour...and seal seal sealsealsealseal......
