question about waterfalls

[Saviorself]

From the posts and diys I've searched all the waterfalls seem to trickle down rocks and such. I haven't seen any where the water just free falls to the bottom uninhibited. Does this create to much splashing at the bottom? Just wondering why I haven't seen any done this way.

folks have done it... then complained and changed it because they have to clean the glass too often...

Yup, cleaning the glass is a common complaint, water splashing into the soil keeping it to soggy for most plants is another, or they complain about the noise.

Keeping the waterfall well back from the front of the glass, lowering the volume of water that goes through it, and lowering the hight that the water free falls into the pool are some of the fixes to control excess splashing issues.
