From start to completion. Step by step photo. finally got it up and running. Next couple of months is all about planting and patiently wait on the water to be ready.

Awesome transformation! I love the way it looks!
 
How does the water fall exactly work
Its technically not water, but sand. What happens is it runs through a pump hidden by the "water"fall and out thus creating the "water"fall

So how do you keep the sand falling where you want it to go, and not drifting around the tank.

very low flow around that area and high flow coming out of the pipe I suppose
 
Yeah. It's a bit tricky. Takes several times adjust before you can get the sand fall right into the pit.
Also keep the heights low. 17 center meter is the height the pipe should go. With the rock. Do not pass the 32 center meters high. Otherwise it would be messy.
 
I know this must work, but I just can't see how over time when you add fish, and the plants grow etc. and there is algae in the tank how this waterfall will remain working perfectly like it is now.

Use uv sterilizer to eliminate algae. Only add some fish. Not all. Fish actually will not swing near by the water fall. All the plants added into the tank are slow grower like anubias and Buce. Only thing that may grow fast is the moss. I won't be too concern about it. And by the pit. There is no plant at all. All other plants are fore ground plant that will not grow high.
 
Gorgeous tank! The way you concealed the sand fall is genius. Can’t wait to see more plants added! :) :fish:
 
thinking about discus and cardinal tetra
