Stealth Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Hi guys, Today im after something that might be familiar to you but something I just cant seem to find and I hope you can help. You know when you go to the beach and you have a wave crashing into the rock-pools… kinda like that gushing wave.. I want to simulate the same in my marine tank. The closest I could find was the following to give you an idea, but obviously just would like something on a small scale. or Something that collects water and then releases at once, creating a gush of water.. Thanks again for your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

si_sphinx Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 You could have a pump fill up a container and when it fills too high it tips over from the weight of the water and splashes into the tank. When it empties, a weight on the bottom of the container then sets it back up straight ready for the next filling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
