DOUBLE Sand Waterfall Planted Aquarium Setup

What I Used:
White Sand ► amzn.to/2FEqiRo
Pumps ► amzn.to/2IeIPZJ
Water polisher ► amzn.to/2KwN4hy
Plants/Monte carlo ► bit.ly/2BQhxpR
Seiryu stone ► bit.ly/2HKPSKl
CO2 bubble counter ► amzn.to/2IePFhR
CO2 setup ► amzn.to/2rhHWVK
Heater ► amzn.to/2JPRS0s
LED light ► amzn.to/2HOkTJ7
Sand Waterfall Construction:
Great video explaining how it works: bit.ly/2HOSgQp
1/2 in. pvc
1/16 in. acrylic inserted to create velocity
Pumps used to run "sandfalls"
Sand: small grain, not pool filter sand
99.9% of sand must fall back into trap or else the waterfall will eventually stop.

AQUAPROS your awesome

[@prunerd4744]

Try the Pseudomugil gertrudae (idk what's the english name, i'm french) they look like little birds, they would "fly "in this tank ! Awesome vid, love from france :)

[@LeslieF0330]

AQUAPROS done! I'm so excited you set up this tank. I've been wanting to try it but have been a little hesitant. I'm definitely going to try the sand falls now. Thank you for sharing this build Mike! ☺️

[@lukehofer4370]

Name it The Sandfalls Tank

[@j.g.3293]

Mixed shrimp!

[@Raluum]

It's truly a fantastic build. Well done. First the jungle, then desert, and now this. Im blown away by the creativity in your builds.

[@AQUAPROS]

Thanks sooo much!

[@tankers3656]

The end result is brilliant 👍

[@shesellsfish]

Your creativity with tanks is amazing!

[@MrBarclonista]

i disable my adblock for this video and watch all the ads. really well done man

[@AQUAPROS]

Yur the best kind of human being :) Much appreciated my friend :)

[@alanreid498]

Best in depth video on how to make a sand fall from beginning to end. Well done sir!

[@lorib6509]

Dude! I have been working on a sandfall for a while with several failed prototypes with the air stone 😝 Just bought the water pump and was going to use tubing along with the pvc pipe! And BAM, you brought it to life! Thank you for the inspiration and proof that it can work! So appreciate your sharing! 👏👏👏👏👏

[@prosynisterhd6239]

Did you use a catchment bowl or just a trap like in the video? Can’t seem to make the sand go back down the hole, also what sand did you use?

[@kruimels]

@@prosynisterhd6239 It must be one milimeter or smaller.

[@bettablue2660]

You know, I liked the cloudiness. It looked like the mist that waterfalls create. It is very beautiful!

[@cichlidscape]

Definitely the most aesthetically pleasing tank you’ve done in my opinion🔥👌🏻 looks awesome👏🏻

[@elliottfordham880]

Best tank I've seen you make! So creative and aesthetically pleasing! great job!

[@CrazyAquariumGuy]

I never seen a tank on KZbin that I wanted to have just the way it is, UNTIL NOW! Amazing creativity! Well done Mike 🎩😉

[@Sith_Sloth]

This is why you are my favorite fish channel! Always amazed with your creativity!

[@eroggero]

I am typically a Salt water guy, but this is pretty inspiring me to try a fresh water tank, looks, great and kind of a Jurassic Park look to it. Look forward to the updates

[@Kenneth_Fishing]

It’s always a good day when AQUAPROS builds a tank Also, pls we need an update on your dwarf cichlids

[@PENFOLD1962]

Maybe it's just me but it looks like a Winter Wonderland!

[@dragon6irl]

Endler’s livebearers or some fancy guppies maybe? If you don’t want babies everywhere then some danios. Or you could do a single centerpiece fish like a neon blue dwarf gourami.

[@islandgirl7922]

All your hard work really paid off. It looks wonderful

[@corneilcorneil]

Thanks a lot for this upload! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 I know this ventury system for 30 years, but the way you use it is just 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@CynthiaPrice79]

Love it! Can't wait to see it all grown out and filled in!

[@MorganLiveLife8]

Name the tank " Carlo Falls" and you should add bright coloured fish so it looks like butterflies flying around.

[@johnnyboi1764]

Thats a great idea!!

[@filippasaric9566]

rainbow fish

[@thewasatchjackalope8320]

You need something that that has rainbow collars and travels in a group. Waterfalls always have rainbows. 🌈

[@duppy666.]

Looks awesome! Can't wait to see it mature. I would like pea puffers in it but you already have them in another tank.

[@Aaron.Reichert]

So many cool new things I want to try in my fishtank.

[@opcn18]

Thumbs up for correcting good to well.

[@JackeyTranArchives]

Always wanted to know how to create a sandfall without using air pumps. Awesome work, man!

[@rgilroy1909]

Definitely feel that this is your best build yet

[@AQUAPROS]

Thanks bruhhh

[@BlackWolf-di9gq]

A very attractive aquascape! Would be great to see how this looks once the plants have matured. Hopefully the plants won't obstruct the sand flow too much! Great job! 👍

[@haydeltae5887]

That is a gorgeous tank. I think White Cloud Mountain minnows would look super good in there.

[@israelreyes5884]

Men I don't know if someone has done this before, but u killed it... it looks so unique... that's perfection men u the best

[@dfanman1]

Thank you for putting the detail into that sandfall, very hard to find! Great video!!!

[@ericks02]

This tank is such a beauty! I love it! My recommendation for fish for this tank would be butterfly catfish. I think they would really give it a good effect of birds flying around a waterfall...and obviously it'll need some sort of shrimp lol. If you can get some varr. green or green jade ones I think they would make a sweet lizard/reptile feeling too

[@nf794]

ericks02 this should be top comment

[@Felikas]

Would be interesting to see some shrimps in there!

[@klcpca]

Loving the tank!!! As far as stocking.... I think nice school of smaller fish with a real "pop" of color would be great....neons, cardinal neons, even black neons or Rasboras....

[@Tenguine]

OMG this is your best build yet!! Can you please do a 20G long aquascape for an axolotl? My guy will be needing new digs as he gets bigger but axolotls have different requirements being cold water and low light. They also tend to eat their substrate so need sand, bare bottom, etc (nothing they can fit in their mouths). Since they also spend most of their time on the bottom, I would imagine a sloped substrate would also be an issue but it looks so much better!

[@Passion_Bassin]

Can't tell if I like this or the desert tank better. They are both AMAZING!

[@azurefennecfox]

this is sick dude! You've been the one to get me back into aquascaping and fish keeping along with some of the other aquarium youtubers

[@rickrodriguez6675]

Dude the whole visual effect is fantastic. Loving.

[@andreatrujillo3670]

Impressive and very good work! A skimmer on the top might clean your water surface up nicely.

[@jakesemrow2678]

Put some White Cloud Mountain Minnows in there. It would look perfect

[@austinrobertson5055]

I was thinking the same thing. A school of White clouds or maybe some galaxy rasboras would look amazing.

[@XxPSYCHLONExX]

This is my favorite of all the setups I've seen you do. Amazing job!

[@christianpunzalan6283]

That looks amazing! I can look at that aquarium all day.

[@kreesdqban]

This thing blew my mind. Awesome concept!

[@THEcucufate]

Still a thumbs up for me and great-looking tank. Really really helpful and good instructions.

[@betsybalchbarker]

Gorgeous!!!! You are so ingenious and inventive!!!!!

[@ethanjd314]

I like it! Looks awesome. I think I you could get some tall plants to kinda look like trees between the “waterfalls” and that would look cool

[@caratcranker5874]

WOW, welcome to dandruff rock. Joking guy. What you have here is totally terrific! I have never seen this effect done before. Thankyou for your total dedication to detail and performance. What do fish think of this? do they keep trying to eat the sand? do they get sucked in to the input?

[@ICanCraftThat1]

I just made and gave up on mine. I carved a solid piece of featherlite stone. had to anchor it down with legs and a catch basin on slate (it was a floater) hooked it all up and it worked. Built tank (it's a dirted setup). Wasn't happy with my basin set up and it was super tall for substrate so I pulled it all out rebuilt tested flow in tub with no sand and water was flowing out through the collection t part but if I blocked it as sand might it flowed. Maybe this was indication I did not restrict flow enough. Rebuilt tank hooked it up. No dice. Cut my hand up trying to find problem. There was no flow through my T inlet. Maybe my plastic modifications of it wasn't deep enough it was more than half way but not as deep as yours and bogged with silicone. Tried to fiddle with it but I really can't make adjustments with out ripping it all apart again. Was contemplating using the air bubbler but would need to cut pipes underneath but would need to rip it all apart to do it..... So frustrated but after an entire week of working it every day and a looming fish auction date I'm just going to live with no falls. So frustrating. Still contemplating pulling it apart because I seriously put 20+ hours into building and it would be so cool...... #frustration

[@loavesfishes6268]

Really looks like paradise! Great job!

[@watashiwakris2603]

How could you do that all by yourself ..you’re truly amazing

[@dennisflanders1957]

Beautiful tank. I'm considering copying it

[@AQUAPROS]

Thanks! Do it!

[@dennisflanders1957]

Oh and as for a recommendation for a species make sure its big enough to not get sucked up in the pvc :)

[@fishandshrimpbyrich6381]

Great tank!!Call it Twin Falls.. Pigmy Corys for the bottom and Amano Shrimp to clean the mountiain...

[@amandamathews4516]

This is stunning! Anytime you’d like, come on over and set this up for me. 😁

[@AlphaAussies]

I love how you showed how you the get the monte carlo into portions. Because I ordered some and I was concerned if I was going to kill the plant lol

[@dmp2461]

That is the most amazing tank I've ever seen!

[@manishpillai5159]

It looks awesome. U did a wonderfull job. I had been looking for how to make two waterfall at a time. Finally i got thanks.

[@iian_]

looks good man. You're a savage with dremel, dont hurt yourself.

[@danielscerri8914]

Looks great mike. Some bumblebee gobbys would be cool, or some green neon tetras.

[@darbyslowmotion4488]

That's awesome. I have been watching you for a couple months now and you have inspired me with all these videos to do something awesome with my tank. Keep it up you do good work

[@aubriew2412]

This looks really cool! What a creative idea, it turned out beautifully!

[@SakuraMushroom]

I think this would look beautiful with a betta sorority!

[@TheBlackZodiacGhost]

Phoenix rasborras would contrast nicely with that setup, and they're top dwelling

[@ruthking8400]

Wow!! It looks like a snowy mountain! It's so cool! :)

[@40sandshorties5]

One of the best underwater waterfalls I've seen! Keep it up man it your work is amazing! As for a name, maybe Double Down Falls?

[@kedymccauliff8576]

Such an amazing tank! One of my favorites ever! Much props!

[@HeathenHammer123]

Beyond awesome! you can call it Monty Falls

[@nesto902101]

Favorite build so far! I would name it “MC Rapids” for the Monte Carlo in the tank.

[@anthonylangone3699]

Some ideas: Paradise Fish, an Angel of some kind (preferably with minimal white), Pea Puffers, Australe Killifish, Honey Gourami, maybe some Apistogrammas, not sure how they'd fare w/ the sand falls, and I'm pretty sure these all could do well with some Pork Chop Rasboras- just some complementary contrast.

[@gabrielgiguere2108]

seriously, one of your best tanks ever, so simple, clean style yet powerful with the movement of the sand and the effect of hight like mountains with the rocks props dude, that's the kinda scape I look up to do one day hope you give us updates frequently on this setup

[@juliestevenson9151]

Stunning beautiful waterfall tank

[@markmcgonigle1982]

Awesome tank as always. I would name this something like "Hourglass Falls" or "Sands of Time Tank"

[@avinashcj398]

Hey shows us the fully grown project of this, also it looks very awesome feels like iam watching at Himalayas mountains with pretty cold breeze, those sand looks like a snow fall and abandoned ruf mountain with minimum plants grown.thislooks awesome man... For me

[@Matthewsavant]

I definitely thought this was going to be a huge fail but the end result is pretty excellent

[@sullythetroll9319]

I'm sure a Betta or 2 would love this as their home

[@simonweissbrod1129]

Maybe put in a shell dwelling chichlid pair, because they play around with the sand too so gonna have even more sand movement!

[@AGENTSIXTY9]

Mike this is an amazing build!

[@fishrrelaxing9361]

Beautiful design! What many might overlook in aesthetics of this setup.. it’s basically a moving sand bed which is bar none the single best filtration for any tank.

[@ChakragurI]

I feel like some Dwarf Neon Rainbows would look really nice in there. Though I'm a little biased since I have some and are in love with them LOL

[@soron703]

"Literally forever & Literally a million water changes." xD Looks awesome can't wait to see when the Monte grows in more.

[@jenniferhinds1865]

I love this sand waterfall

[@pauloemmanuelg.baysac4647]

That was a super super aquascape!

[@meadowfrance]

So awesome. i was very curious to see how you did it.

[@squishycaptain2177]

When it was cloudy it looked like a winter mountain landscape.

[@alexandrevaliquette1941]

If you can find a lower density "sand", it will make it fall slower witch will be more realistic. Filtration sand is approx 2.6g/cm3 You need something closer to 2g/cm3 or with a flake shape to sink slower. Crushed and sieved eggshell might be an option to explore.

[@claymurray1454]

I'm not 100% exactly what type of invertebrate you should have, but something that would climb the waterfall and look really cool

[@gustavomoura7121]

Love the aquascape!! I would consider some type of dwarf cichlid. I think they will really pop in this set up.

[@sahlvall]

"Microdevario Kubotai" would be the perfect little fish for this setup! I love it ^^

[@cleaningdiys5435]

You talk like a book and i love the way everything turns out keep making vids....

[@RUNfastCUZeyeCAN]

Looks so good man! My favorite tank you have ever done by far.

[@FECtetra1918]

You nailed it! The tank looks awesome!

[@p4thf1nd3r]

looks kinda like some ancient ruins from a video game. its great!

[@BBFlutterby]

Some small black Molly's would give great contrast 😍

[@bluebowser3121]

I'd like to see some Shrimps in this paired with maybe some kind of nano fish.

[@kobeyoung7]

This is so dope, can't wait to see some fish in there, something new and crazy!

[@harriskay4794]

Need to try this out at some point but the cloudy problem will definitely trip me up

[@thehawaiianpunch1769]

This is so cool if i ever have a cube tank i will have to try this

[@ArtCapri]

AMANO is proud of U!

[@MaximusPrime10278]

Amazing tank man!!! Great work, the effect looks incredible and everything beautiful! Thanks for sharing

[@HeatherNielsenScarletAquatics]

This is such a cool build. It turned out great!

[@set_blocks]

Oh wow that effect is very very cool. I'm imagining this could be so awesome with Shell dwellers maybe because the substrate would be sand anyway and if you would silicone everything and make sure they cant move the rocks or pipes by moving the sand around it would be possible! Thats obviously not an option for you now that you have everything set up but you're a great inspiration :) Maybe you could stock this tank with small colorfull fish so they fit the scale of the scape and make the waterfalls look bigger :D I'm thinking killifish or something like that

[@susanelezebeth]

I've never seen a sand waterfall b4 very cool
