STEP 12
CONT...
• Remove the waterfall lip from the MicroFalls
screws installed through the waterfall lip and liner.
• Place a thick bead of silicone
across the insert nuts on the
front of the MicroFalls
Ex. 26). Pre-installing the two
screws in the earlier steps will
make it easy to line up the
waterfall lip after the silicone
is applied and will keep the
silicone in as thick of a bead
as possible.
• Reattach the waterfall lip
and liner using the two pre-
installed screws. (See Ex. 27)
• Using an awl or nail, poke
the remaining holes in the
waterfall lip and install the
rest of the screws.
(See Ex. 28)
• Remove extra liner, using the
waterfall lip as a guide. Install
the rest of the screws.
(See Ex. 29)
• Let dry for at least one hour before introducing water!
Ex. 29
WARNING
Power tools are not recommended for installing the
screws and may strip the nut inserts.

• Install the two filter pads into the MicroFalls
• Add approximately 10 lbs of lava rock or Aquascape
BioBalls™ (not included) into the media net. Set the
media bag on top of the filter mats.

STEP 13
BUILD THE WATERFALL
• Make sure there is at least 2 feet of liner on either side of
the MicoFalls
• Place two larger boulders on either side of the waterfalls
you are creating in order to "frame" the waterfalls. The
water will be running between the two larger boulders
you've set in place. (See Ex. 30)
• You can now begin to stack the rocks between the two
larger boulders. These are the rocks that the water will be
running over, so take your time and be creative. Start with
the larger rocks on the bottom and work your way up to
the smaller ones on top. (See Ex. 31)
• Small stones and gravel can be used to fill in the gaps
between the larger waterfalls stones.
