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 :)
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! ☺️
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?
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! 👏👏👏👏👏
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
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
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
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!
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
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
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.
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! 👍
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.
Great job bro..nicely done.Monte Carlo for the base is a good choice.. But for the rock use varieties of Moss,mostly Xmas moss will add charm..hope to see more from this tank..love from INDIA.. cheers.
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....
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
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
best tank youve done. i would definately go for some small fish / shrimp. if you put larger fish you will loose the "grand" impression. cutting the montecarlo down once settled will emphasise the "size" with the smaller leaves aswell. I would go for some small yellow cherry shrimp to minimize the maintenance.

AQUAPROS your awesome

Awesome vid, love from france :)
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! ☺️
Name it The Sandfalls Tank
Mixed shrimp!
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.
Thanks sooo much!
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?
Your creativity with tanks is amazing!
i disable my adblock for this video and watch all the ads.
really well done man
Yur the best kind of human being :) Much appreciated my friend :)
Well done Bro !
The end result is brilliant 👍
Best in depth video on how to make a sand fall from beginning to end. Well done sir!
Best tank I've seen you make! So creative and aesthetically pleasing! great job!
Definitely the most aesthetically pleasing tank you’ve done in my opinion🔥👌🏻 looks awesome👏🏻
This is why you are my favorite fish channel! Always amazed with your creativity!
I never seen a tank on TH-cam that I wanted to have just the way it is, UNTIL NOW! Amazing creativity! Well done Mike 🎩😉
You know, I liked the cloudiness. It looked like the mist that waterfalls create. It is very beautiful!
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! 👏👏👏👏👏
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?
@@prosynisterhd6239 It must be one milimeter or smaller.
Dude the whole visual effect is fantastic. Loving.
All your hard work really paid off. It looks wonderful
It’s always a good day when AQUAPROS builds a tank
Also, pls we need an update on your dwarf cichlids
Gorgeous!!!! You are so ingenious and inventive!!!!!
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
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
Love it! Can't wait to see it all grown out and filled in!
Maybe it's just me but it looks like a Winter Wonderland!
Always wanted to know how to create a sandfall without using air pumps. Awesome work, man!
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
Thank you for putting the detail into that sandfall, very hard to find! Great video!!!
This is my favorite of all the setups I've seen you do. Amazing job!
That looks amazing! I can look at that aquarium all day.
Wow!! It looks like a snowy mountain! It's so cool! :)
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
Really looks like paradise! Great job!
Definitely feel that this is your best build yet
Thanks bruhhh
Mike this is an amazing build!
This thing blew my mind. Awesome concept!
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
That is a gorgeous tank.
I think White Cloud Mountain minnows would look super good in there.
Impressive and very good work! A skimmer on the top might clean your water surface up nicely.
That is the most amazing tank I've ever seen!
Your aquasacpes are amazing! You deserve alot more subscribers.
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.
Thanks a lot for this upload! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 I know this ventury system for 30 years, but the way you use it is just 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

This looks really cool! What a creative idea, it turned out beautifully!
Still a thumbs up for me and great-looking tank. Really really helpful and good instructions.

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?
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
ericks02 this should be top comment
So many cool new things I want to try in my fishtank.
Awesome tank as always. I would name this something like "Hourglass Falls" or "Sands of Time Tank"
You nailed it! The tank looks awesome!
Some small black Molly's would give great contrast 😍
Looks great mike. Some bumblebee gobbys would be cool, or some green neon tetras.
Wow this was really creative. This tank is amazing!!!!
Looks awesome! Can't wait to see it mature. I would like pea puffers in it but you already have them in another tank.
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.
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! 👍
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
Won't the sand kill the powerheads? As in wearing down the impeller and shaft?
You’re killing it man 👍
Stunning beautiful waterfall tank
Awesome video man , great job with the aquascaping :3
Can't tell if I like this or the desert tank better. They are both AMAZING!
"Literally forever & Literally a million water changes." xD Looks awesome can't wait to see when the Monte grows in more.
How could you do that all by yourself ..you’re truly amazing
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
Epic build Mike!
Thanks bud! 😎
I'm always waiting what is next lol ...awesone creativity
Looks so good man! My favorite tank you have ever done by far.
"Microdevario Kubotai" would be the perfect little fish for this setup! I love it ^^
This is so dope, can't wait to see some fish in there, something new and crazy!
Another amazing setup! Your tanks are just awesome
Your tanks are amazing! Your videos are so informative and inspiring!
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.
Beyond awesome! you can call it Monty Falls
Great job bro..nicely done.Monte Carlo for the base is a good choice.. But for the rock use varieties of Moss,mostly Xmas moss will add charm..hope to see more from this tank..love from INDIA.. cheers.
Great tank!!Call it Twin Falls.. Pigmy Corys for the bottom and Amano Shrimp to clean the mountiain...
Such an amazing tank! One of my favorites ever! Much props!
I think this would look beautiful with a betta sorority!
looks good man. You're a savage with dremel, dont hurt yourself.
Dude fantastic job , can it be used in a salt water tank ?
good idea !
I wish I could put in 100 likes, this is an amazing tank idea. This is why I subbed to you sir. Keep the Great Ideas coming.
This is insanely gorgeous!!!
Favorite build so far! I would name it “MC Rapids” for the Monte Carlo in the tank.
This is such a cool build. It turned out great!
You talk like a book and i love the way everything turns out keep making vids....
Name the tank " Carlo Falls" and you should add bright coloured fish so it looks like butterflies flying around.
Thats a great idea!!
rainbow fish
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....
Amazing tank man!!! Great work, the effect looks incredible and everything beautiful! Thanks for sharing
Wow nice job dude! That is sick
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
Most creative tank since the Avatar tank. Good job👍
This tank looks AMAZING! Well done! Is it safe for fish?
I'm not 100% exactly what type of invertebrate you should have, but something that would climb the waterfall and look really cool
Wow! This is absolutely beautiful! So talented! I’m jealous! I think you should put some neons or zebra Danio in there! 😍
It is amazing! Really enjoyed watching the video
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
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
best tank youve done. i would definately go for some small fish / shrimp. if you put larger fish you will loose the "grand" impression. cutting the montecarlo down once settled will emphasise the "size" with the smaller leaves aswell. I would go for some small yellow cherry shrimp to minimize the maintenance.
Phoenix rasborras would contrast nicely with that setup, and they're top dwelling
Absolutely stunning!
