Default Waterfall ?

Ok, maybe I am off my rocker, but has anyone ever thought about putting in a water-fall ( no matter how small ) in there tanks ? This could replace a misting system with the constant water flow mixed with the right temperature....just a thought....I'm thinking of building one myself and would love to incorporate that into the tank.

I'm planning to build myself a wall with some plants on it and I had the same thought.

A small waterfall with a computer fan behind it to cool down the area and to raise the humidity

I have a little 5" fountain sitting in the middle of my big tank. I think it definitely helps with humidity

I'm thinking of making a tank with a waterfall too - there are cheap 15 dollar fountain pumps that could be employed. I don't know if it could take the place of watering or misting, but it should definitely help the humidity! Let us know what you decide to do
