Water Gardening: suggestion on buying or building a waterfall, 0 by snapple45

Front view - The support for the upper waterfall is a curved wall of stacked retaining wall block available at all home building stores like Lowes or Home Depot. The waterfall itself is a Savio waterfall weir set into an opening in the block wall. The block was covered with rubber liner which goes into the upper splash pool, over the ledge, and under the rock lined stream. Natural stone from a decorative stone yard was stacked and foamed into place over the top of the rubber liner. The natural stone covers all the rubber liner. Black waterfall foam was used. Grey latex paint was dabbed over any exposed rubber liner that couldn't be hidden. It also disguised some of the black foam for a more natural appearance. It would be possible to cement directly over the block in place of a rubber liner. If it doesn't crack and leak you would be OK. I'm not good with cement but handy with foam so stone was the choice.
