How I Make Mini Tabletop Garden with Real Flowing River

[@ainahmad8300]

God, I've been looking for this! I SEARCHed mini river.. mini creek.. mini stream.. fairy garden with river.. etc. Most tutorials are for fountain & waterfall making (which I love & already have). Now, Imma make a tabletop water stream, I don't care.. I need this.

[@slavasavenkov9103]

Отличная и новая идея, очень красиво. Спасибо, всех благ

[@terryt9833]

Very cool! For max durability I might opt for silicone caulk instead of hot glue, and perhaps sealing the wood with epoxy to prevent rot

[@mlakuaesmallgarden]

@@terryt9833 you're right, I'll try to put those advices in my next project, I really appreciate it, thank you❤️

[@Pinkroses-summer23]

[@koningking8253]

Dude, honestly, this put smiles on my face, the setup is getting better everyday, amazing, you keep on learning obviously. The fact that you can combine the building process, video, and music into kind of like ASMR vibe, top notch. its so calming in such a way. This is your best one yet, congrats!!! Im very excited for your next project :)

The mix of ASMR and showing DIY is so awesome. Great project, love it! I think I missed one thing from the video though; how does the water get back to the pump? Really tempted at making something like this, but my cat is probably gonna drink it all. :P

[@mlakuaesmallgarden]

thank you... the water is circulated through the river stone and lava sand (which also act as a water filter) back into water pump 3:56

[@LuvableCharlin]

@@mlakuaesmallgarden Oh, so the silicone glue thing mixed with fine gravel didn't make it waterproof? Thought it couldn't get below that. xD Thanks!

Okay, I missed something. How do you turn on/off the pump after you buried it beneath everything? Or do you just leave it on and plug and unplug?

[@DeRueben]

Aquarium pumps like these are indeed just plugged/unplugged. :)

[@Chevko_]

Is there a particular reason for volcanic sand? Or can one use any type of sand? Same goes for hot glue vs caulk? I have more caulking at home than I do hot glue, and river sand is easily available. Honestly just wondering if there's a specific reason or if it's aesthetic and just what's on hand.

[@chrismackay9154]

@@mlakuaesmallgarden think he was curious as to where it circulates, like is it just filtering underneath through all the gravel or did you add a specific channel for water to go through

How does the water circulate and where is the filter? If it is the one on the bottom by the pump then how is it cleaned?

[@mlakuaesmallgarden]

@@ritaparker478 the sand will be the filter and the plants will deal with the cleaning just like walstad method

[@bmoore8853]

I’d like to see what actual impact the aerator made, it seems to almost distract from the natural look of the stream. Made water look like there was soap in water… why bubbles in a river? Not natural. But great inspiration, sorry for nitpicking!!! Gave me great idea for upscaling for a tropical bonsai enclosure I am working on for Florida Mangrove scene.

[@sudharsanbalasubramaniam7333]

Thank you so much for making this. I am a little confused 6:02, you are connecting the aerator stone to which outlet? I see the tube from the pump right above it which you are connecting the aerator valve at 11:53. So which line connects to the aerator stone?

[@mlakuaesmallgarden]

Sorry causing you confusion... 3:50 this is for water line which are connected to the water pump, 5:22 this is for the aeration which connected to the aerator, (which I forgot to record it).. so I'm working with two machine, the water pump and aerator for my water pump doesn't feature ventury mode... Hopefully this makes you clear.. thank you for whatching and leaving comment❤
