STEP 4
INSTALLING THE FILTER PADS AND MEDIA BAG
• Install the two filter pads into the BioFalls.
• 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 5
BUILD THE WATERFALL
• 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 (Ex. 13).

Rock
• 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.
• Small stones and gravel can be used to fill in the gaps
between the larger waterfalls stones (Ex. 14).

• Use the Pond and Waterfall Foam Sealant (not included)
to fill in gaps between the stones that water is flowing over
(Ex. 15). The foam keeps the water flowing over the top of
the waterfall stones. Without the Pond and Waterfall Foam
Sealant, you will lose waterflow as the water will travel and
get lost beneath the rocks.
• Let dry for at least one hour before introducing water.
TIP: The BioFalls is designed with a plastic lip for
the water to cascade off. You can use the plastic
lip or hide the lip using a piece(s) of thin (no more
than 3/4" thick) natural slate (Ex. 16). This stone
can be attached to the BioFalls using Aquascape
Black Waterfall Foam.

If using a natural rock for your waterfall lip, make sure that it is
fairly thin. (no more than 3/4")

STEP 6
BRING IN THE TOPSOIL
• Add topsoil to the berm and surrounding area in order to
provide a good substrate for future landscape planting.
