Is the water that feeds into the waterfall coming from under the gravel or is the filter exposed in the water?

The filter that is exposed on the top. You may have some splash if the water level is too low!

the filter is in that black elongated tubing, it doesn't go down into the gravel. This only fliters the the water on top of the gravel. This fishtank only shows for glo fish. It only has a blue/black light, so it won't show up regular fish. I didn't know this and bought this for my betta fish.

not from under the gravel. the filter sticks down below the waterline about 6 inches

If all you want to do is move water, as in a water fall you wouldn't need a filter. I have a filter on the out put end of my pump and it pushes the water right on through it, then one at the top of the falls and it still moves a very impressive amount of water. I don't see how you could put a filter in front of it, anyway. Take a look at the shape in the picture.

No, actually it is a perfect size. You really can't over filter. This will yield clear water and enough capacity for and feature or waterfall.

I believe the filter allows the water to separate and stay in the filter. There is a fitting at the bottom of the bowel allowing the water and contaminants to be drained off. A must have filtration system for boats

Yes, the filter goes under the sink. The only thing visible on your counter top/sink is what you see in the picture.

The "under gravel filter", how efficient is it to keep water clean within normal environment.? Where can we find replacements every so other month needed? Thanks

Depending on the installation, there is a filter between the tank and the water supply. The instructions note that you should check this filter if you have diminished flow.

Not an expert but this filter is gravity fed so it needs to be below the water level so the water falls down into the filter.

Well we have used this for about a month and the water is still clear - have a few small fish in there too. There is an intake valve at bottom of fake wall - goes thru filter and then gently pours down - check out local pet stores they usually have one - but cheaper thru amazon

it is not under pressure. pond water is pumped into top where it soaks through the filter pads and them out at the bottom. There is an overflow spout at the top if too much water builds up, but can still leak if too much water. best to have a valve so you can better adjust the flow into filter

It has a under gravel filter but I still purchased a regular one as I find the under gravel just make bubbles .

I use filter floss and filled the bottom with ceramic rings,replacing the gravel.So to your answer, yes...

one attaches to an under gravel filter the other can be used just to pump water for ciculation or in a fountain

As long as you do regular water changes and do not over feed the fish or over stock the tank, the under gravel filter works fine.

I don't think so. The filter creates a water flow through the clear tubes by displacing the water on it towards the top with the air bubbles that grow in size due to lowering the column pressure. This flow suck the water from the gravel and filter the water through it. All the garbage stay in the gravel till you clean it. The problem is that 3 or 4 inches doesn't provide enough pressure column to make the principle works. But that is just my opinion. Good Luck!

There is no filter per se. there are disks which rotate in the water and collect dirt.There isnt a mesh or anything of that sort.

As I recall, just the waterfall and a baseplate for a filter. Filter material is usually available on the 'net and can be cut to fit.
