Also have you seen the kids in the first video that they are featured in and then the one where they went into the gallery? They have changed a lot. Especially the big boy.

you could use this to make a filter

yeah
If you liked this video, you will LOVE my book: thekingofdiy.com
Love this, one question, If i make an underwater waterfall, will it give off air like a normal pump does? I only have 1 air pump and my fish need those bubbles lol, so does this waterfall give off any air into the water?
plz help me !
do you know what kind of sand could use to make the waterfall look real
sorry my english is so bad
Long Lê silica sand
justin davies
Of course. It is underwater so O2 will diffuse into the water like any other source of air underwater... And yes, of course you will have a constant stream of bubbles emerging on top of your submerged waterfall.

Well whadda ya know btw i know you posted that when hè already did that

I used to use this exact system in 1970 but placed underneath a sheet of plastic which formed a bottom with a 1" gap underneath. This naturally used the sand/gravel as a filter bed. But I realise ideas have changed over time. Love your videos although I don't breed Discus anymore.

+Eds Orchids Hey Ed!! I wish I had been able to watch the hobby evolve as much as you have gotten to. You must be a wealth of information.
Info yes but the Discus these days are fabulous compared to the browns,greens and heckles I used to get.
Many thanks for the reply and keep showing your magnificent fish.

I like checking out these old videos and seeing just how far Joey has come in his production quality and presentation skills. It's like night and day. Dude has made a ton of progress in every aspect. That's why he's the king.
So you’re all going to ignore the fact that he had a casting couch... ok 😂😂😂
Best comment
Hahaha
Lmaoooo let the man do his side gig😂
Daaaamn 😆😆😆😆
You all are crazy leave that man alone! Watch the video and ignore the background you sickos 😝🙄😂😂😂
I have that same couch. and the one in my living rooms gone! oh wait I just got robbed nvm.
YOUR IN ALL the freaking prank videos how did you get to fish video's?
I'm pretty sure I saw this guy in DBZ videos too, or some music video of sorts lol

People which want to see another method by a better creator
It's funny people are whining about this when there are videos on the instructables page from before this guy did it.
I seen one of these at the store over 10 years ago and I always wished I would have got it cus I never seen one since.. I remember that it had sand in with it and I have asked even the people at the pet store they looked at me like I was making it up ... glad I found this video
This video gave me an idea for making a filter! Keep the PVC elevated off of the substrait, and put a sponge at the elbow opening.
You sir are gunna go mental when you discover the "sponge filter"
Yo I thought it was Adam Sandler for a sec lol.

Dang Joey...in the interest of my binge, this is the first older video I have watched. You have talked about them. The King of DIY in the early days. 👍👍👍
Thank you for this detailed tutorial other people have done different ones but they're not as detailed when it comes to hooking up the pump. I'm trying to put this together for my fish and I have had a hard time understanding how to hook up the pump

Hi Joey, Just wondering if you need a minimum rate air pump for this setup? I've tried making this but cant get the water flowing out the top, even on full speed, and with 2x air stones. Any suggestions???
why go thru all that and not have the right sand
+Ikeman Richter I was just explaining how it works, not what it looks like. I filmed this 4 years ago though and was not expecting any interest in this. i used what i had on hand... i have made 2 videos on it since, showing the correct sand and even building it into backgrounds.

He does it all the time. Unsubscribed because of it.
This video came up on my feed. I almost didn't recognize Joey here.
Questions
1) Inside sand bottom or ??
2) Pipe should dip in sand or ?
3) How much pipe dia you use 1/2" OR 3/4 " inch
4) shower should be tightly in pipe OR Loose ?
I love your channel so much
2019 anyone
yes
Just put 2 waterfalls blowing sand to each other.
wouldn't the sand get into the fish gills ???
No! think about it:The water is moving, BUT they put sand cause u cant see the waterfall under the water... so its a waterfall tevealing with sand
Damn bro you really grew into yourself!
Mine doesn't work and I dont know why.. doesn't force the water or sand up the tube
You could use it as a filter if you insert foam.
either you're really small or that couch is freaking huge! :P
Attention aux fautes dans les sous-titres, svp !
Insane how much you've changed.
Ya
This is so cool! What a great idea, and thanks for the easy instructions =)
Hello Joey
I'm having hard time looking for the 1mm sand.. I live in Southern California, is there a name/brand which will help me out?
Thanks
if your still looking you wanna look for sharp sand or builders sand.
good idea for a cleaning the gravel like gravel pump, by the way, the air pump is for how many gallons?, thank you
simple to see, but is impossible to make it..... i have a powerfull air pump, a very small sand, but dont work, Iwant to know only why?....
I did this using 2mm sand, seems to be larger than his. I used a pump that I would consider to be "higher quality" than the one shown here, but I can't say whether or not it's stronger. Using sand this big keeps from causing the sand storm effect, but it might be heavier to lift using a pump rated for less than 20 gallons. To keep from losing my sand, I essentially made a bowl out of a terra cotta pot that acts as a reservoir for the sand, it catches the falling sand at the base of the pipe. At the top of the pipe at the elbow, I have an acrylic piece at about 45 degrees with holes drilled in it. The air escapes, the sand hits the acrylic and falls into the reservoir.
I absolutely love your newer videos you seem so much happier
Thank you very much for a very clear instructional video, it allowed me to create my sand fall although I took it a step further and did a multi-level fall. Thanks again, I enjoy my tank so much more thanks to your video.
African Cichlid tank with 3D background and multi level sand fall.
It's to see that at least one of the members of the SOA cast took up a decent hobby after the show ended.
Your so smart great idea dude your a legend
What air pump is that? At what flow rate would you recommend any air pump trying to do this? Thank you!
+Stephen Aniceto Im not positive on the pump, but it was a very common size. Nothing entirely special about it.
This looks great; I have a bunch of ideas. Can you make an underwater bubble river?
İ swear i am gonna make a filter out of this. A simple one just for the poo and the dead pice of plants
hey joey what is that thing u used to combine both the outlets into one pipe line?
Dude, u should get a microphone.... Ur video's voice is not good...
WOW! That was awesome. Love this demonstration, if I ever set up an aquarium i will definitely try this. Thanks for sharing this video.
Nice demo of the principles of a sand fall. I use moon sand for mine. Also, you can use a power head if you don't like the hum of an air pump. the setup is a little different but the venturi effect action is the same.
can u tell me how to make sand watefall without the bubbles....?
can u showing the video...?
I need U'r help.
answer my question please...
thank you...
you can use that set up for a gravel cleaner! just attach a fine mesh bag at the end and start cleaning! it should work :) havent tested it yet but seems logical
I actually have a video on exactly what you are describing. :)
HOW TO: Keep your aquarium clean
holy cow dude now you just gave me an idea to make effortless "suction/insta overflow filter etch2. i did not expect this. i just clicked your video
Cool video and great information. But. wouldn't that be an underwater sandfall?
Joey, can you do one on making a cheap DIY marina Hang on isolation breeder box? I know it is only $10-15 but unfortunately, they run out a lot, and it is hard to find them for a reasonable price.
Very cool!
if i want to add a sand fall to my pre-established tank, would it be alright to use the bubbler i already have? my bubbler also has 2 outlets on the pump itself i could use the second one if i needed to. what would you recommend?
hello dude......... need some help from u to build a playwood aquarium. size 72inch*34inch*30inch hight
i want to knw wat thickness should i opt while choosing play?
we hav to nail that or to screw
how many coat of liquid rubber should i use in order to make that strong
do i need to use silicon in every corner?
what all i hav to do to make the tank strong and long lasting.
and also plz send me ur demo video link step by step illustration.
tanking u... hope u will reply soon.

Are these suitable for freshwater tanks? I can't imagine my goldfish enjoying sand. Perhaps I could swap out the sand for a fine gravel? I believe it would be heavy enough to just drop down again rather than float around their tank, but lightweight enough to be sucked up. I already have a filter in their 60litre tank though, and i'm worried perhaps it would cause too much water disturbance for their liking?
Hey I just subscribed to your channel! Anyway would it still work the same as if you put it under the water not at water level.... I think it would look cooler if it was like in the middle of the tank not al the way on top! Btw I just started this week my 55 g tank all I need are my fish ! Ppl from petsmart told to wait about a week !! So I can start adding fish to my tank! Please respond about the waterfall
hey DIY guy i had an idea but i cant figgure out how to work it out and was wondering if you could help me out. i wanted to do a series of tanks for freshwater tropical fish but i wanted to have a water fall that falls from one level to another and then one from the 2nd level to the third. if you could help me out i would really appretiate it. Thanks so much your vids are awesome!!!
im going to try getting a 1 inch pipe instead of a 1 1/4 pipe like she got me. if that doesnt work, i guess im just out of luck, because i dont want to buy a new pump haha.
and yes she watches your video's i have a 70 gallon oscar tank, she has a 30 gallon bowfront community tank. (and a 55G tank thats not being used right now, parents wont let me have 3 set up tanks)
my dad watches you now as well. all of us but my mom and sister are into fish tanks haha.
haha nice to see my fiance on my computer again. anyways, yes she was right. when i came home and found out how much she spent i was kind of dissapointed haha. PVC shouldnt cost that much. i dont know where u are in Canada, but im in Ontario. we got black PVC if that matters at all. but we got 1 1/4 inch PVC piping instead of 1 inch, and there is very little to no water flow. were going out today to get a smaller air stone, and PVC piping. is my airpump just not strong enough or was it the tube?
Pumping the air is an air pump, Right? But the way it pumps the water and sucks the sand makes it an airlift pump just submerged right?I have done quite a bit of research on Airlifts and I believe it might help viewers understand the concept better. Or They work very similar. Im not a troll or know-it-all, Just really like your vids and am very interested in this subject! Finally someone "you" made a easy to understand, clear and informative video on the subject! Thank you joey
Will it still put oxygen in 2 tank ?????
Omg only 6 hours ago hi lol
If I was to put a few bio balls or bio sponge inside the tube would this work as a filter for a small tank? It seems like a cool idea :D I know this idea wouldn't work well in a large tank but hey. I like that idea :D
awesome idea,, i plan on doing this with my next rimless i am currently building. one thing is i do not understand is why does part of the pipe(elbow)need to be out of the water? extra air release? would it be possible to drill a second hole in the elbow and just have a piece of airline hose above the surface or would that be risking water coming out and just not excess air?
Hi joey.. I tried to do this with a 3/4 inch pipe with the 3/4 to 1/2 elbow.. it sucks water up but bubles also come out of it . The one in the video doesnt look like theres bubles in it. Is it maybe I used a wrong elbow? Oh and one thing that I didnt do is putting the notch to the bottom of the pipe. Is the notch necessary? Pls need answers to this... thanks...
Do you think Black Flourite and Onyx sand will work with this? I am building a planted cichlid aquarium, I want to build this into my backdrop. I have this contraption all put together. (which was very easy, thank you!) But, I do not have any way to test it out :-( I am in the middle of building my backdrop so I can't fill the tank right now.
I'm trying to do this but with just water, no sand, for a underwater waterfall effect and it's working UNTIL I submerge the pipe (Including 90 degree angle pipping) Then it's just making bubbles and not the waterfall effect :( It I keep the pipping about the water then no waterfall effect being seen under the water surface .. What am I doing wrong?
Joey, sorry but I don't know where else to ask this. What do you know about setting up a tank for Discus? I have a 80g tank that I want to do something with and Discus would be nice. I don't want to drill the tank for bulkheads. Yes there are prob other vids on youtube for this but I like the way you operate. Thanks, George
Fair enough Joey, thanks for responding. Maybe the underwater waterfall craze hasn't hit the UK yet or maybe the fine sand you mention in the vid doesn't do the feature justice. I had no intentions of being offensive or ungrateful for your efforts just didn't really relate to this video. I hope your move has gone well and you've settled in to your new home
How many volts of O2 pump r u using....Bcs my pump is not working like yours .... In your video on 5:09 Min Water is flowing ..but mine is not working like yours ....Im also using a two side pump like yours.... Pls give me some idea.....
Al your diy make life simple... Giving a thumps up is insulting you......so I say....if you are a sun..trying to use a torch is idiots job....you do not rock.you just quake...(earth quake) that's the nearest I can get complementing you
my pump with 2x 2 litre/hour wasn't quite cutting it. I've since upgraded to one with 2x 3.5 litre/hour outlets and it works well. I have plumbed both outlets together with a T-intersection, so ultimately pushing 7 litres/hour through and this is more than enough. Hope that helps.
yes but a lot of work is involed. you cant have the same fish, sand, rocks, filter, or water quality. you need to add salt, live rocks and live sand, and increase the filtration a ton. also the fish must be saltwater fish. do a lot of research if you want to switch. its a lot of money but a ton of fun!
I try doing this but it didn't work water didn't come up:/ would the hole on top be the reason? I got it in the middle just like you did but it came out just a lil bigger than the hose. Would anything else be the reason why water is not coming out like in your video?
I have a 75 gallon tank with 2-110 Aqua Clear filters,Rena Filstar Xp2,and a Aqua Clear 70 Power Head.Is this something that I need to do for my water flow?
I forgot to mention that I have 2-12 inch oscars.I'm afraid if I do add the underwater waterfall,that the oscars would rip it out.
I don't understand what the point is to throwing sand around your tank? You should make the proper one so we can see what it actually looks like instead of posting a meh video. I just can't imagine any sand not being cloudy while being thrown around.
This looks pretty cruel to me dudes. the bacteria that forms in the substrate to break up ammonia could be destroyed or just wont form, and it would be like trying to live in a sandstorm. It does looks pretty cool when there are no fish in there tho,
Hi! Can you make a video on how to make brackish water? Thanks a lot. If not, do you know how? I only keep freshwater creatures. I never worked with brackish or salt water and I'm planning on setting up a red claw crab tank. Thanks again.
Waterfall with sand? Seriously? Doesn't it make it SANDFALL?
this was 8 years ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Joey, can I make a suggestion? you bought some tools to cut and shape from the 3d background, perhaps revisit this and see if you can make a workable area for the waterfall? should be easier with your tools?
I think it's good way to show children how air can displace heavy particles with water and a little air in a form of a venturian pump. like it,but no hunmbs up for the fish community,but the fish may not be happy.
I get it. =) It's just semantics anyway, you're just the first person I've heard call it a "Sand Waterfall" instead of a Sand-Fall. =) It has no bearing on the quality of your videos, just a random observation. ^.^V
Water Fall in indonesia = Air Terjun ..not Air jatuh :D
i want to know if we must show the power of an pump air by the liter from the tank, or the Power of the pump air don't influence the sand to go up ( sorry for my bad english X/ )
HALLELUJAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

could we use this diy for the on top aquarium aquaponic idea !? anybody thx
alot of places that work with glass (like window places) can buffer out the scratches. i heard as long as you cant feel the scratch with your finger nails it can be buffed out.
but i may be wrong.
I don't think this is just for looks. Good bacteria grows on the sand, rocks etc. So your mixing oxygen with flow (moving filter). You will get looks and good bacteria progression. Great video man.
Hi, I want to do my DIY sand waterfall, but I think my air pump (Tetra APS400) is not enough to pump water to 50-60 cm height. Could you give me a detail about your pump or another to achieve that. Thank you.
I need help. I followed everything you did but I can't get any sand. I am using pool filter sand. I get bubbles but no sand. What do I do?
I just wanna thank you for sharing this idea,. I now have under water waterfalls:) sorry my bad English Joey, I just really wanna thank you for this and I'm learning from you,.
Thanks for sharing the idea,...👍👍 good explanation
hi, heres 1 see if you can figure this out lol. done a sand w`fall with air pump, but bubble noise little annoying. Seen many using a water pump instead 1s but no descriptions on setting up, no matter how or where place the sand intake, waterflow also takes the same exit blowing sand all over. Any help appreciated..
Hey Joey i noticed a crack in my tank today, i have already put water and its not leaking. what should i do if it does leak and how do i fix it
