1. POSITION THE PUMP:
Position the waterfall pump (e.g. Zoo Med’s MicroPump 104) on the bottom of
your clean terrarium. Connect the plastic tubing of suitable length to the pump that
will direct the water to the desired waterfall source location. Make sure to run the
pumps’ power cord behind your background.
Option 1: Place a Natural Cork or Forest Tile
Background against the back of your terrarium and
place the pump in front of the background (shown).
Cover the pump and run the waterfall over a piece
of Mopani Wood.
Option 2: Use a Natural Cork Flat as your background. Place the pump against the back wall and
then place the background in front to hide it. If following this option remember to make an opening in
your cork flat for the plastic tubing so that the water
runs down the front (not shown).

2. PLACE HYDROBALLS™:
Place the HYDROBALLS™ in a colander or fine screen and rinse thoroughly prior
to placing in your terrarium. Fill the bottom of your terrarium and cover the waterfall
pump with a 2”-3” layer of HYDROBALLS™. For larger terrariums you may need
more than one bag of HYDROBALLS™.
HYDROBALLS™ function as a biological filter media in addition to the following:
• Can be used as a base layer underneath Zoo Med’s Eco Earth® compressed
coconut fiber substrate or other substrate to create an underground water table
in naturalistic terrariums.
• Use the HYDROBALLS™ to create a natural “aquifer” and increase humidity
levels for all tropical species!
• HYDROBALLS™ provide an excellent substrate
for live plant root growth in naturalistic terrariums.

3. PLACE TERRARIUM MESH
Place the Terrarium Mesh over the HYDROBALLS™. You may need to cut the mesh
to fit your terrarium. You may also need to cut a hole in the terrarium mesh to run
the plastic tubing through. This mesh will prevent the top substrate from mixing with
the HYDROBALLS™ and damaging the waterfall pump.

Cutting with
scissors.

Press the Mesh
down around the
plastic tube.

4. PLACE SUBSTRATE
Add the substrate of choice (e.g. Zoo Med’s Eco Earth®) over the screen mesh to
complete the substrate layer set-up. Add additional substrate to contour the landscape of your terrarium.
Add dechlorinated water to create a natural aquifer. Use Zoo Med’s ReptiSafe™ terrarium water conditioner to safely remove the chlorine from tap water.
Guide the plastic tubing to the desired position and anchor it to the Mopani Wood
or other appropriate accent (use the plastic elbow if necessary). Please note if you
are using the waterfall pump behind your background you should guide the plastic
tubing and anchor this prior to adding your substrate of choice.
