how to actually make it work....
Okay...this is a tricky thing to get to work. It took many trials and errors. So let me help save you a lot of frustration:
1. Pick out a piece of throw-away tupperware.
2. Cut a hole in the lid just big enough to fit the waterfall hose through.
3. Drill lots of little holes in the tupperware bowl.
4. Place waterfall motor in thd bowl and suction it to the bottom.
5. Select waterfall intensity (medium worked best for us).
6. Run tube through lid and connect it to the motor.
7. Close lid.
8. Place bowl in bottom of EMPTY terrarium where you want it.
9. Fill the bottom of the terrarium with hydroballs that have been thoroughly rinsed while holding the tupperware bowl down to the ground. Fill with hydroballs to the top of the container's edge.
10. Place screen mesh over hydroballs edge-to-edge in all directions of water feature's perimeter.
11. Add a thin layer of moss (keeps substrate from making the water merky).
12. Add substrate.
13. Add other stuff (rocks, vines, plants, etc.).
14. Add water.
15. Plug it in and watch it flow.
