Hey Kyle I was looking at your pictures and i was wondering how you setup your pumps in the azureus and the imitator tanks. My next tank I want to have some kind of waterfall or at least circulated water, but i didn't know how you went about doing it. I couldn't find the pump in your pics.

thanks

I use small indoor fountain pumps that were very cheap. They have worked well. I hear RIO make nice pumps also. The pumps I use do not pump very high and in my imitator tank you can see about as high as they will pump. It is also better to have the pump in a false bottom or large rocks so it does not get clogged. I have a picture of the pump I used in the construction of my imitator tank album. Fee free to e-mail if you have any questions.

Just thought Id add that I use a fluval pump for my waterfall. It is a midsize pump but would require a false bottom. The reason I used this pump ( actually its a filter) is that the flow is adjustable. This way you can adjust it for your waterfall application . They run around $40 I think and can be found at most pet stores.
