Who wouldn't want to have a small stream or waterfall in their rainforest terrarium, babbling idyllically through the landscape? Such water features not only provide impressive visual effects, but also contribute to a natural and vibrant terrarium climate.
With the right pumps and filter systems, stable water cycles can be established in rainforest terrariums, paludariums, or terrariums with a water feature. At Rana Terraria, you'll find reliable technology specifically designed for planted terrariums and tropical setups.
In addition to pumps and filters, this category also includes suitable accessories for installing water systems cleanly and reliably.
Compact submersible pumps are ideal for operating small streams or waterfalls in terrariums. They are placed directly in the water section of the terrarium and continuously pump the water back to the source of the stream.
Typical areas of application are:
The continuous movement keeps the water in motion, preventing it from stagnating or becoming foul.
External filter systems can be useful in larger paludariums or terrariums with extensive water features.
External filters are installed outside the terrarium and connected to the water feature via inlet and outlet pipes. Installation often involves drilling holes in the terrarium floor, allowing the equipment to be housed, for example, in the cabinet beneath the terrarium.
The advantage of such systems:
Setting up a functioning water circuit often requires additional accessories. Therefore, in this category you will also find important components for the technical setup.
These include, for example:
These components allow for the flexible and safe installation of pumps, filters, and watercourses.

Pumps are used to keep water moving. This allows, for example, the creation of streams, waterfalls, or water circulation in pools.
Stagnant water can quickly become stagnant and putrid. Continuous water movement keeps the water stable for longer and introduces oxygen.
Submersible pumps are located directly in the water section of the terrarium and are often used for streams or small waterfalls.
External filters are installed outside the terrarium and usually offer a stronger filtration performance for larger water areas.
Yes. With a suitable submersible pump, a small waterfall or stream can easily be created in the terrarium. Such features are particularly popular in rainforest terrariums and paludariums.
