Review: So far so good. - Very happy so far. I set up over a week ago and enjoyed the set up process. After reading the clogging issues in some of the reviews, I made sure to rinse the hydroballs thoroughly. I then positioned the pump on the floor of the tank and covered the pump directly with a piece of the screen mesh which was then weighed down with a 3" layer of hydroballs. I placed a sheet of screen mesh on top of the hydroballs from wall to wall, followed a layer of sphagnum moss and finally the coconut coir substrate. I think the water movement adds a lot to the terrarium.
Review: Be smart - This is a good product if you can do your research and use logical thinking. Obviously dirt in the pump is a no go.. i created a dish of sorst usiing a rock feature. I drilled small holes so water can get in i put the hydro balls inside of the rock feature but the whole bottom layer of the vivarium was filled as a drainage layer. Lots of landscape matt will continue to help keep debris out of the pump and seperqte my drainage charcole and substrate layer.. I did drill holes to make the rock feature a water fall and an so happy with the result. Can't wait for the habitat to stabilize and to bring the crested gecko home.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: will a large bearded dragon fit in the bottom**
A: This is for a creature that requires high humidity. Bearded dragons live in dryer climates. This waterfall also requires substrate, and bearded dragons do best on carpet or tiles. Please do not buy this for your bearded dragon

**Q: Is the pump on this noisy or pretty quiet?**
A: It was pretty quiet. I had it in my bedroom and was never bothered by it. I have stopped using it, however, because it got clogged easily even with the substrate mesh barrier. That may have been my fault in not being careful enough when setting it up.

**Q: how large is the substrate mesh? Also how big is the bag of clay pebbles? I have a 40 gallon vivarium I'm redoing. Thanks**
A: The mesh is about 18x18. The bag of pebbles would put about a 1/2-3/4 inch (ish) layer in a ten gallon tank. Hope this helps.

**Q: Will this work for a 75 gallon tank?**
A: Yes it will.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good kit but needed some fine tuning additions and knowledge for setup.
*by C***K on March 9, 2020*

The hose could have been longer. I went to a local hardware store for a longer replacement. Longer hose was not offered by Zoo Med. It could have also offered advice on how many hydroballs and what water level common sized tanks needed. Had to research other setups to get enough of that info to feel comfortable with what still was guess work. Those are my only complaints at this time. Overall happy with the product. Check out YouTube for reviews and Big Al's vid has a decent walkthrough on setup procedure.
