Vpier Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Really neat. Is that sand? How does that work? I dont know but I have seen something like this diving on the other side of reef surrounding an island. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shrimpo Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 I am one of those without facebook , lol . I would think that regardless of pump the sand would clog it . The sand is lifted with air bubbles, no pump needed. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted December 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 The sand is lifted with air bubbles, no pump needed. Yep. Like a sponge filter tube with a notch cut out at the bottom for the falling sand to enter again. The bubbles suck the sand upward and drop it at the top.

Wygglz Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 The mechanics behind them is really pretty easy. If I can do it anyone can. I just used pvc pipe with an airstone dropped inside. Pool sand works well because it is light enough to be picked up by the flow yet heavy enough to drop into a fall instead of just clouding your water. The intimidating part for me is creating the background to cover the mechanism and give the sand cool things to flow over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted December 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 I'd love to see it. Yeah, the side of sand is important. Pool filter sand is good, but play sand for instance will just cloud the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
