By the way, if the branch is very long or glue can't hold it, it would be wise to add some mechanical assistance like a metal brace or screws etc. But the strongest glue I've found is the 2 part epoxy glue. Hardens in 5 minutes too. The water based liquid nails is very strong too, but does take a day or two to harden.

Waterfall installed, but need to somehow hide the tubes and the pump. I'm thinking maybe buy the smallest matching rock hide to the rock bowl and just putting it over the pump.
I also want to waterproof the driftwood. Not sure what can be used to do that that is transparent and non toxic while submerged in water? I know you guys use G4 pond sealer but it is not available here. Will varathane be safe? Or smear on some aquarium silicone where the water runs?

Re: ANOTHER background - rainforest
NOT COMPLETE!
But close...
Will change out that exo terra hide for a real tree stump hide. Will add basking slate. Also the grey rock hide covering the water pump is too tight. It squishes the pipe tubing thing and slows the water. Will try to look for another cover.

By the way, my advice to people wanting to make something like this:
Don't make a waterfall. WAY more trouble than it's worth.
If you HAVE to, use a proper water pump tubing. Don't try to do something fancy like this here genius (sarcasm) and try to adapt an air hose, because it's smaller, black, and thus less visible. Darn thing is dribbling like some old geezer with prostate enlargement.
