In this video we look at the classic Floating Fountain Illusion and deploy it on a planted tank. By using the flowing water of the magic faucet, we're able to keep all the plants in this "paludarium" design saturated with water. I made use of classic aquarium plants in this setup-anubias, java moss, java fern, and buce. Under the waterline I used Rotala Colorata and Ludwigia x Arcuata, both of which I got from LRB Aquatics.
This tank is a UNS 5N and you can find it here:

Observant viewers will notice that I chipped my front tooth for this video.

I’m not observant then!
Uhmm, ouch!
Love this, remember seeing this illusion in the mid 80’s at the mall.
I didn't know you existed before I heard Joey (King of DIY) recommend you in his interview with Pecktech. I am SO glad to be here.
I’m glad you found your way here!!
Awesome. I always liked this Illusion. When I was little my Grandpa had one in his basement that was a tap flowing into a beer mug. I was always super intrigued by it.
I love this!
Oh I’ve seen those, it looks so cool! ;)
Buying this kit now! Thanks for sharing! Awesome!
Hey I love those magic taps. You can buy really big ones for ponds in gardens..
Lovely. Amazing.
This is my favorite video of yours yet!
Great idea. Thank you.
That is so insanely cool
I knew you were using an Acrylic Tube. You can see it in the camera, but it is very subtle. Great job Sir. It looks fantastic. 😊👍
Its so beautiful 😍
Nice Video well done
So beautiful 😍😍🙏🏻🌹
Very cool setup, Alex. Only downside is the tube will be visibly dirty fast.
it starts to get visibly dirty every 4-6 weeks. It's an easy fix though-very easy to clean the pipe, it takes less than 30 seconds!
Cool
Nice
Wow!!
Adorable set up Alex. When I was younger building table top fountains, I had quite a few requests for this style of unit.
Thanks Big Guy. 👍 How's the Mother tank doing? 😅tooth adds more character... 😉
Fishing For Cardinals site is great!!!
This is so awesome, trying to make one , but can’t get my water to come out evenly, comes out in a swirl from only 1 or 2 holes, why ? Can’t get it tome out of all holes , hope someone can help , thank you
Great video and idea. I tried to look for the kit on amazon, but was not able to find. Can you please share the name or search terms.
I suggest looking for kits on Etsy!
@@TankTested thanks!
What size pump are you using? Gallons per hour
would this be safe with a small fishtank?
What kind of reed is that? I haven’t seen those before and I’d like to add some to one of my tanks.
Looks like dwarf horsetail... might be wrong though
Damn
That looks amazing... until you get algae in the tube!
Algae doesn’t show up too often, but when it does i just jam paper towel through the tube using a dowel and it’s all clean again!
