It was a light bulb moment for me. I havent put much thought into it until about a week before i made the video. Good thing my idea worked, or i would have just been showing a how to build a crappy background video. haha
Can you show us how to make cooling aquarium fan? Im living in tropical region and the temp is 85-87. Aquarium chiller costs too much money and very high in electric consumption as well. Thank in advance!
Good suggestions. I have a few ideas, but might be a few months before i can get to it. Tons of videos that being worked on now, and lots next in line. I wont forget though. :)
This is a great video. I am working on a sandfall right now and I wanted to know what size air pump did you use in the video? It seems to have a lot more power than the one I'm using?
King of diy. Love your videos ! I am having trouble with my sandfall. I created a whole coral insert with a water fall it looks awesome but I can't get the right flow from my sandfall. What pump do you reccomend for large suction and uplift ? Cheers.
+Gary Mcpherson well, that's really going to come down to how well it was made and how you mixed the cement/cured it. Sometimes they will start to crumble after a couple years if too thick of a layer was put on, on top of another. Several thin layers is best. If done right, they last many years. I have seen some that were 10+ years old.
definitely a thing. Mine looks horrible though. But... its just how to build it, so meh. Do some search here on youtube and you'll find some amazing ones that they spetn some real time on.
***** Sadly I don't have the money or space to dedicate to a tank large enough to make it worthwhile, I live in a townhome so my current obsession is with mini planted tanks. I've got one with crystal shrimp and another with pea puffers! I do have one question, although it's in motion is there ever an issue with algae? It'd probably be a nightmare to clean off that craggy rock or inside the air pump!
Amelia Bee Totally agree. As i built this for such a small tank... i kept worrying about how i could make it look good. Definitely need to be in a tank 3 feet or longer. Although, with some creativity im sure people can make it work and look good. For cleaning.. I wouldnt worry too much. The ore algae the grows on the rock, the better it looks. I never touch mine when i have them. For the pump, the sand will rub on the inside, but i cant really see enough algae building up in the back to cause any real issues... thats if the light even gets back there.
***** That's a relief! I've already got, like, ten of your vids bookmarked for when we move into a bigger home and I can finally pick up this hobby full-time, hehe! Although I do admit the miniature tanks have their own charm. It's like fish bonsai. And it's fun to find teeny versions of popular aquatic plants!
Amelia Bee ha! I was actually just looking at this old glass i had. It would make a 20"X5"X5" tank... I thought it could make for a really cute 2 gallon tank. Maybe make a miniature aquascape. Knowing me though... i would keep it bare and try to put stingrays in it. haha
Great video... As always. Please keep them coming. I finish making the "cheep" sump pump for my 75 gallons African cichlids and works so much better then the canister I had set up. Thank! Juan.
Hi Joey, this is Ryan from Mumbai, India I've watched a lot of your videos. You're amazing! keep up the awesome work man!..I have a question I'm building a sandfall and I wanted to know if the air bubbles created by the airstone (to lift up the sand) provide oxygen to the tank? I know it probably does but can I use use that as an aerator and remove my regular airstone oxygen? or not? If the answer is yes then I think my aquarium will look awesome with the sand waterfall doing the job of aerating the aquarium as well. thanks again!
I think it will aerate your tank. By following the laws of physics of osmosis, the oxygenated water will flow into the unoxygenated part of the tank (from higher concentration to less concentrated area).
Great video, i tried making sandfall twice, but had problems directing the sand vertically down .This video has made me wanna try it again. Also If you can make a video on natural looking, painted 3d background like ones made by " design by nature" it would be awesome.
thanks joey! watched all three videos great job. defiantly will try this one in a vertical aquascape. the few i have seen running have been in cloudy water. will the sand make my water cloudy was it runs over time? will it work with courser sand
If the sand is rinsed and clean, it cant cloud the water. Over time, it would just get more clear. Not sure what ones you have seen, but i have not seen a cloudy tank with one done right. I didnt try ever sand size, i tried pool filter sand and something fine like playsand. Pool sand worked best.
Joey, curious about buoyancy of the foam. Have you had to hollow out the parts facing the back sides, or has the Quikrete been enough? I've had a carving I've been working on for a similar corner waterfall, and I found the pressure of the foam wanting to float made me extremely worried about it popping up and out, yet as a waterfall piece I really look for not adhering it to the sides with silicone. Really, I look for the best of both worlds, and if Quikrete is the way to accomplish that, no problem, but is it generally enough?
found your video's a few weeks ago, awesome, as someone that loves diy projects. just a thought here how about posting your video's on Fridays giving us the weekend to maybe try them out. anyway keep up the great work
Great suggestion and makes sense. However, Fridays are actually the worst day for me to upload. Sundays work best for my channel based on my audience's actual viewing habits though. My channel strategy is based on how people interact with my channel VS what i want to do. If i didn't do it this way, you would never have found me.
I always wondered where your DIY name came from because when I started watching your channel you weren’t exactly doing diy crafts, just aquarium maintenance. I see what’s going on here! These are so cool. Why don’t you incorporate this into one of your new aquariums?
It's such a simple principle but with an awsomely creative result. I might have to buy a new aquarium just to try making a background with na underwater waterfall. A few months ago i bought a Marina Dragon aquarium for my kid. I am now thinking that red sand and a red led light would be the perfect addition to it as they would create the effect of a lava flow.
Once again another great video i have a question off the topic i want an aquarium that is 120Lx48wx30h if it's an acrylic aquarium or glass is 3/4 inch good enough to hold the pressure of the water some people say yes others say no
Wondering the same thing. I’m setting up at 125 planted tank at the moment and incorporating this idea into the design. The pool sand filter video suggests 20 grade and since he references that filter in this then I am assuming it is the same grade. With costs of this build increasing I wanted to read the comments for confirmation but alas, none found thus far. If I find an answer in the thread I’ll come back here with an answer.
hey Joey can you hide a heater behind the background as well or do you think it would heat the overall tank properly? i am asking because i want to the background for the sandfall and the the heater. the filter will be elsewhere. please let me know!
hi very nice video. can you please tell me the name or the power in 60 min of this pump. I am searching a lot of time but I don't find any pump. please help me. Thanks and Greetz from Germany.
Wondering what kind of foam you used and is it sinkable? I made one out of styrofoam and I couldn’t test it without glueing it to the aquarium first which was a pain to make repairs when someone went wrong.
Thank you!! Have helped me so much!! Not just this, but everything! As a beginner I have learned a lot, some from mistakes! My new hobby!! If my wife would let me I would have tanks everywhere! One thing I do have is my med tank 1, that's what I call it!! Any fish get sick...in they go!!
Well, i think it looked ok. Gave ya a good idea on the outcome. When i was done though, i had wished i spent more time on it and gave it a proper effort. However... Sunday's come fast and new projects await!
Hi Joey! Your videos never fail to inspire me with what to do with my tanks! I'm currently setting up a saltwater tank for my snowflake eel and want to set up something like this. What kind of substrate would you recommend? I want it to be heavy enough to fall but am worried about it being to rough on the eel. Thanks!
What is the air pump that you recommend (that is strong enough to do this) I've tried to do this on other projects but there is not enough power to lift the sand.
I dont really have a preference. On my forum i talk about how to size airpumps by wattage and LPM. Search around, its on there somewhere. diyfishkeepers.com
The king of King's! I really need your help. I'm a beginner to this but watched hrs apon hrs watching ur videos before I even began. All is great but the sandfall is really testing me! I used all of what you showed with rocks aiming the sand back to the bottom of the pipe but for some reason unknown I just can't get it to work I've tried fiddling with hight of pipe to sand and air stone to sand also pressure from the pump and nothing just tinny particals falling. Nothing like the videos you see where the sand is gushing down. If you help sort this problem you'll be my hero not just just the king lol :) thanks
Sir,,, I am right now working on sandfall and experimenting a lot to get best results.. One thing I donto understand is why use an airstone.. wouldnot an open air pipe do a better job ...
good video how much is your book I live in the United Kingdom and we are pound sterling can I get your book on ebay or amazon cheers happy fish keeping
I've an aquarium that is fertilized with CO2, so obviously I don't want to much oxygene pump in with a sandfall. I was wondering if it would be possible to bring the sand up with a waterbeam based on the venturi-principle.
Really So Cute....Dear...🙂🙂🙂.... and I'm having One Question....that is ....The cement ?...will not Harmful for Fish ?....can We Add Paint On Cement....?...is that safe Fish 🙂🙂🙂
I want to build a sand fall but i need it to be in the middle so it can be viewed on both sides. I use my tank as a room divider. Can you make a how to video?
I have a aquarium with rocks and water....thats it.. but but but will the sand not eat trough the pipe and the foam over time. My guess is that this looks good for a week or so.
Well, not really. I bred some for a short while about 8 years ago or so. I just tossed a few in a 30 gal tank with java moss and a sponge filter i made. (and a heater) A few months later i had hundreds. Fed them algae wafers. Just dropped one or two in the tank and let them munch away. The java moss was probably the key to my success though. I ended up losing interest.... Was a super cool project at the time though.
Hello sir I made a sand fall in my aquarium but bubbles are coming from down side and sand was not coming please give me a suggestion and what is the power of air pump that you use please tell me sir thank you.....
An air lift is a great cheap way to 'pump' that sand, but what about the horizontal flow? You are limited to a strict reduction in flow once the air vents behind the feature (which also causes noise and in my case a splashing issue). I have spent the good part of a week working on 'pumping' methods for sand that still are applicable to tanks you would find in a home.. I have a working model, cheap/easy to adapt/works consistently without anywhere near the constraints exhibited here. I would be interested in speaking in a more private forum regarding this project and others like it.
Damn Yourugly I know this was posted a long time ago but I have some questions, I have been planning a quite elaborate system for a while now, but so far only on paper. I am going to be making a small prototype tommorow. I read your post and realised I have a horizontal portion of my design. At its longest around 7-8 inches. I understand what problems this can cause and would be interested in your ideas of solving this, along with the air bubble/splashing issue at the surface. Not sure if your far finished with this project as your post was a year ago lol. But worth a try.... Many thanks
Why am I watching this I don't have a fish.
this is your internal fish genetics. Your ancient evolutionary past when you were a fish. Joke :-)
LOl
Good explaination of the sand fall. Always wonder how to keep air out sight and only see the sand. Fired Up!!!
It was a light bulb moment for me. I havent put much thought into it until about a week before i made the video. Good thing my idea worked, or i would have just been showing a how to build a crappy background video. haha
Hahaha
Can you show us how to make cooling aquarium fan? Im living in tropical region and the temp is 85-87. Aquarium chiller costs too much money and very high in electric consumption as well. Thank in advance!
Good suggestions. I have a few ideas, but might be a few months before i can get to it. Tons of videos that being worked on now, and lots next in line. I wont forget though. :)
***** Yess!!! Please do this video!
Im pretty sure he's already showed how to do this. Look around his videos i swear the image on the front looks like ice or something. Hope it helps
Just wanted to say thank you very much, your tutorials have inspired me to try new things and really show how creative one can be. Truly inspiring :)
If i had to narrow down 1 intention of my channel.. your comment would be it.
This is a great video. I am working on a sandfall right now and I wanted to know what size air pump did you use in the video? It seems to have a lot more power than the one I'm using?
it was a really nice video ... but can you explain me how you kept the bubbles out ... i really didn't get that part
the styrofoam has an angle leading out
even i didnt understand for the first time..now i do
@@rafvit860 how about the noise
🔥❤️🔥 exactly what I needed ❤️🔥🔥
I like the structure built around the pipe…really natural! ❤
King of diy. Love your videos !
I am having trouble with my sandfall. I created a whole coral insert with a water fall it looks awesome but I can't get the right flow from my sandfall.
What pump do you reccomend for large suction and uplift ?
Cheers.
I really enjoy watching your video's on making stuff for the tank. I find it really relaxing!
Please keep on making your video's.
Hey King of DIY, Will Natural Zeolite pool sand work and be safe in aquarium? That's the only pool sand I can find here in my town.
Frank Walls yes
Super cool project!
Thanks Danny! Seen your DIY video. Awesome job!! Keep doing them. Need a partner in crime on the saltwater side! ;)
Haha. That's as far as my diy videos go. I lack the mad skills you have.
The king of DIY
Cool build Joey. The waterfall looks really cool!
thank you sooooooooo much!!!! my fish are so satisfied with their new waterfall!!!!!!!
Working on my background and sand fall now. Thank you Joey!
can the sand trap/injure the fish in anyway?
May i know how much wattage of Air Pump did you use here?
How big is tha pump?
I love this idea. Does all of those air bubbles spewing out create a lot of noise?
Joey, what kind of sand are you using? brand and type?
That's literally the coolest thing ever, definitely gotta get a bigger tank and try this out myself.
Happy 4 th
Could you do a tutorial on how to make a flowing volcano, same concept but with red sand and how to make a volcano structure?
Joey-
how long does one of these styrofoam backgrounds last?
+Gary Mcpherson well, that's really going to come down to how well it was made and how you mixed the cement/cured it. Sometimes they will start to crumble after a couple years if too thick of a layer was put on, on top of another. Several thin layers is best. If done right, they last many years.

Great video... As always. Please keep them coming. I finish making the "cheep" sump pump for my 75 gallons African cichlids and works so much better then the canister I had set up. Thank! Juan.
Awesome! Sumps are always a top choice for me when i can do it. I'll keep the vids rolling out for sure. Every sunday... im not going anywhere.
do it with blue sand :)
Pink
or try simply air bubbles.
what size air pump did you use on the video?
So how do you keep it submerged? Is silicone enough to keep it under the water?
Hi
Thanks for the video.
May I ask if there would be any risk of fish and shrimp swimming in to the pipe from either end?
Hi Joey, this is Ryan from Mumbai, India I've watched a lot of your videos.

any issues with a cloudy water column when running this for an extended period of time?
No. Once you rinse and clean the sand, there is nothing to cloud the aquarium.
Great!!!!......thumbs up!
Thanks for showing how to do!!!
Greets from Germany!!!!

Can a sand fall be incoperated in a recirculating aquarium/pond ?
Joey, curious about buoyancy of the foam. Have you had to hollow out the parts facing the back sides, or has the Quikrete been enough? I've had a carving I've been working on for a similar corner waterfall, and I found the pressure of the foam wanting to float made me extremely worried about it popping up and out, yet as a waterfall piece I really look for not adhering it to the sides with silicone. Really, I look for the best of both worlds, and if Quikrete is the way to accomplish that, no problem, but is it generally enough?
The cement will not hold it down, the silicone does. Use lots where ever it makes contact and give it extra time to cure. Generally up to a week.
***** Thanks much. I'll have to consider it if my rock tower doesn't work out. Excellent work, Joey.

Thanks bro
what kinde of sand i need to use for the waterfall and what pomp u use cand u tell me pls
Wondering the same thing. I’m setting up at 125 planted tank at the moment and incorporating this idea into the design.

hey Joey can you hide a heater behind the background as well or do you think it would heat the overall tank properly? i am asking because i want to the background for the sandfall and the the heater. the filter will be elsewhere. please let me know!
I bet that would look pretty cool in a nano reef if a person put the time into it but would be tricky with flow from powerheads.
Hello joey, I'm from Philippines. I would like to ask if it can support 9ft high waterfall or do I need 65watts pump? Thank you
what exactly do I need for that?! where to connect the tube??
air pump
hi very nice video.
can you please tell me the name or the power in 60 min of this pump.
I am searching a lot of time but I don't find any pump.
please help me.
Thanks and Greetz from Germany.
You are showing a very interesting project. I will try. Thanks
Wondering what kind of foam you used and is it sinkable? I made one out of styrofoam and I couldn’t test it without glueing it to the aquarium first which was a pain to make repairs when someone went wrong.
To contribute something useful, it might be a good idea to install your "algae scrubber" behind the styro background. :)
what kind of pipe do I use? can you direct me to where I can buy one
Michael norman a pvc pipe. just buy it on any hardware store
resubbed after this year's event. Great innenttion for airpumps. In wondering if a wall mount filters , can be made into a strong air pump.
Thank you!! Have helped me so much!! Not just this, but everything! As a beginner I have learned a lot, some from mistakes! My new hobby!! If my wife would let me I would have tanks everywhere! One thing I do have is my med tank 1, that's what I call it!! Any fish get sick...in they go!!
What materials are used to make the background?any specific types or brands
Incredible that looks so real it looks like water not sand nice!!!
Well, i think it looked ok. Gave ya a good idea on the outcome. When i was done though, i had wished i spent more time on it and gave it a proper effort. However... Sunday's come fast and new projects await!
First comment great video I'm going to start making one of my tank
Have fun!
does the fallen sand get re sucked back up into the pipe? Does it just shoot the sand you put there then it runs out?
Hi Joey! Your videos never fail to inspire me with what to do with my tanks! I'm currently setting up a saltwater tank for my snowflake eel and want to set up something like this. What kind of substrate would you recommend? I want it to be heavy enough to fall but am worried about it being to rough on the eel. Thanks!
What is the air pump that you recommend (that is strong enough to do this) I've tried to do this on other projects but there is not enough power to lift the sand.
I dont really have a preference. On my forum i talk about how to size airpumps by wattage and LPM. Search around, its on there somewhere. diyfishkeepers.com
I like this effect I could use an old egg tumbler hmmm very inspiring I'm gonna give this a try in an empty tank that I have 👏👏👏
The king of King's! I really need your help. I'm a beginner to this but watched hrs apon hrs watching ur videos before I even began. All is great but the sandfall is really testing me! I used all of what you showed with rocks aiming the sand back to the bottom of the pipe but for some reason unknown I just can't get it to work I've tried fiddling with hight of pipe to sand and air stone to sand also pressure from the pump and nothing just tinny particals falling. Nothing like the videos you see where the sand is gushing down. If you help sort this problem you'll be my hero not just just the king lol :) thanks
What size air pump are you using?
I'm curious, does the sand wear down the foam after time?
+Kevin Batchelor I don't think it would because the foam is cemented.
Can this be done with a rectangular air stone so that the sand fall is wider?
Sir,,, I am right now working on sandfall and experimenting a lot to get best results.. One thing I donto understand is why use an airstone.. wouldnot an open air pipe do a better job ...
what kind of pump do you recommend? I made a sandfall but its not working how I would like it to. I'm thinking it may be my pump?
what size air pump did you use?
Great vid bro, thanks for sharing =)
My pleasure
what type of air pump did you use... how much power can you tell me
Hi sir best When it comes to making a home shower, the powerhead is not good and the air pamp is good from india
good video how much is your book I live in the United Kingdom and we are pound sterling can I get your book on ebay or amazon cheers happy fish keeping
I've an aquarium that is fertilized with CO2, so obviously I don't want to much oxygene pump in with a sandfall. I was wondering if it would be possible to bring the sand up with a waterbeam based on the venturi-principle.
hey dose it matter how long i make the pipe? like could i make a small oone?
Really So Cute....Dear...🙂🙂🙂.... and I'm having One Question....that is ....The cement ?...will not Harmful for Fish ?....can We Add Paint On Cement....?...is that safe Fish 🙂🙂🙂
I want to build a sand fall but i need it to be in the middle so it can be viewed on both sides. I use my tank as a room divider. Can you make a how to video?
I have a aquarium with rocks and water....thats it.. but but but will the sand not eat trough the pipe and the foam over time. My guess is that this looks good for a week or so.
what should we use sand for making sandfall..which is best sand...
Does the airline have to come in from the top? Can it not go in from the side?
I just cant seem to get mine to maintain flow. i used a 3/4th inch pipe. should i get 1 inch pipe and finer sand? mines relatively coarse.
Do you have any tips for shrimp keeping
Well, not really. I bred some for a short while about 8 years ago or so. I just tossed a few in a 30 gal tank with java moss and a sponge filter i made. (and a heater)
A few months later i had hundreds. Fed them algae wafers. Just dropped one or two in the tank and let them munch away. The java moss was probably the key to my success though. I ended up losing interest.... Was a super cool project at the time though.
Looks amazing.
Thanks
Hello sir I made a sand fall in my aquarium but bubbles are coming from down side and sand was not coming please give me a suggestion and what is the power of air pump that you use please tell me sir thank you.....
What power will I need the air pump to be to achieve this effect .. ? TIA
How high should the AirStone sit in the tube?
Do you have video on building a waterfall above aquarium
An air lift is a great cheap way to 'pump' that sand, but what about the horizontal flow? You are limited to a strict reduction in flow once the air vents behind the feature (which also causes noise and in my case a splashing issue).
I have spent the good part of a week working on 'pumping' methods for sand that still are applicable to tanks you would find in a home.. I have a working model, cheap/easy to adapt/works consistently without anywhere near the constraints exhibited here.

🤓 C'est SUPERBE votre video..👍
What pool filter sand did you use?
The stuff in this video: th-cam.com/video/L8MzUYnxXJ8/w-d-xo.html
More details and a look at the packaging in it.
Thank you Joey
What was the black item placed on the end of the tube?
How much liters an hour does you pump do, cause I have 3 small air pumps, but the all don't do the job as yours.
bruh...great videos. ..everything I've thought of u just did.
would this work with light pebbles?
what type of pump do you suggest
What's the name of this product? can I find it on Amazon?
How large does the air pump need to be? I've tried constructing this but I don't think the air pump is powerful enough
Go down to Petco and look for their imagitarium air pump. It's rated for 100-140 gallons.
hi joey would this work in a saltwater tank
May i ask you sir,what is that black tiny thing??
Could you tell me??
air stone
