Step 1 of 7

First, gather all supplies; put pump in pot with a bit of water and press so suction cups on pump adhere to pot.

Step 2 of 7

Add large rocks

Step 3 of 7

Don't forget to add the discharge adapter and a short tube (center); add more rocks

Step 4 of 7

Insert artificial plant (forgive my sideways images ;->)

Step 5 of 7

Add more rocks making sure not to clog tubing; fill with water; play with rocks until you get a nice sound of water over them when you plug in the pump.

Step 6 of 7

Put in a place where you will enjoy the soft gurgles. Plug in. I like mine in my meditation room. Make sure you keep the water level up so you don't burn out the pump.

Step 7 of 7

A nice calm space to bring the future of my dreams to life!!

You're Done!

Great guide!

The Rio pumps may not be available anymore. I've had this one a while. I recommend asking your local aquarium/fish supply store. They will be able to tell you what size you need for your pot.

Ann, the pump I used is a Rio Aqua Pump 50. You can get these at PetsMart or any place that sells aquariums and fish supplies. Hope that helps.
