Material used: 

• PVC pipe
• Rope
• 3W Pump
• Teacups to accommodate planting

Project Steps:

Step 1: Shaping the PVC Pipe

Begin with a PVC pipe and shape it according to your desired design and size. This will serve as the main structure for your aquarium fountain.

Step 2: Creating Water Flow Holes

Create multiple holes in the PVC pipe to enable the flow of water. These holes will allow water to circulate through the fountain, creating a tranquil water feature.

Step 3: Hanging the Structure

Suspend the structure by securely attaching a sturdy rope to it. Make sure the rope is well-anchored and stable to support the weight of the fountain.

Step 4: Adding Depth with Another PVC Pipe

Incorporate another PVC pipe into your design. This additional pipe adds depth and complexity to your fountain's structure, creating a visually interesting composition.

Step 5: Preparing a Cut Section

Take another PVC pipe and cut a section from its center. This cut section will be used to create additional elements for your fountain.

Step 6: Facilitating Functionality

Add two holes to the cut section of the PVC pipe to facilitate functionality. These holes will allow water to flow and create dynamic water features.

Step 7: Adding Artistic Touches

Create a bent PVC pipe and perforate it with holes to add a unique visual element to your fountain. The bent pipe will give your fountain an artistic and captivating touch.

Step 8: Assembling the Structures

Continue assembling the different PVC elements and structures. Secure them together to create a cohesive and stable fountain design.

Step 9: Secure Connections with Thread

Use thread to connect the three structures securely. Ensuring that your fountain is stable and secure is crucial to its long-term functionality.

Step 10: Integrating Water Pump

Integrate a water pump into your design to ensure water circulation. The pump will keep the water flowing through your fountain, creating a lively and dynamic aquatic garden.

Step 11: Getting Ready for Hanging

Observe as your fountain structure gets ready for hanging. Make sure everything is well-assembled and prepared for the next steps.

Step 12: Teacups and Planting Holes

Progress by arranging a few teacups and creating multiple holes to accommodate planting. These teacups will serve as planters and add a decorative and creative element to your fountain.

Step 13: Enhancing with Aquatic Plants

Enhance the natural beauty of your fountain by adding some aquatic plants. The lush greenery will give your fountain a lively, refreshing, and natural appearance.

Step 14: Introducing Fish

Your Hanging PVC Planted Aquarium Fountain is complete once you introduce fish to the aquatic environment. The addition of fish adds a dynamic and living element to your aquatic garden. Be sure to choose fish that are suitable for the fountain's environment.

We hope this project inspires you to connect with nature in your own unique way. Until next time, happy crafting!
