Review on 🌊 Zoo Med Repti Rapids Waterfall with LED Lighting by Sandy Pierce

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Happy frogs! Best in the Fish and Aquatic Animals category

I bought this waterfall to use in place of the waterfall kit recommended for setting up a ZooMed terrarium where you would need to create your own levels of water flow areas like a tree. Definitely a simpler and better kit solution. I didn't have to make extensive modifications to the product to get it to circulate water at the bottom of the tank. Instead of putting the pump in the back cavity, I put it outside and covered it with hydroballs to make sure the pump didn't come loose from the hose. Make sure everything was hooked up properly - the water pumped up flowed down, filling the lower cavity (and tucked in the back too) and then flowed back into the reservoir. (I ran out of beach balls and figured I really only need them at the base) pinned some potted plants in place (I used ivy and bracken) and then layered my frogmoss to make nice mounds. I didn't use the recommended potting soil, just hydroballs and pebbles. I didn't find it necessary as it would only make the water in the tank dirty/dirty and I didn't feel the need to get chicken wire to separate the hydroballs and soul substrate to prevent this. The cords stick out and come out. Reservoir, just like a waterfall kit. It's good if you have enough plants to cover it or the background. I will buy the recommended cork tile to cover it. She looks amazing and my tree frogs seem to love her!
