A plastic type container, with any underwater lights would probably work. It would be a matter of making it fit how your water fall is.
Do you have a picture of where you want it to be?

The first pic is the waterfall before.This time I want to do away with the pre formed waterfall and go with a piece of liner.The 2nd pic is where its going to go

here is a link..........for some at home depot, with some underwater lights, or even lcd lights, some good sealant you could make the box. up

LEXAN* polycarbonate sheet stands out above all other products by providing unmatched impact resistance and strength, along with glass-like clarity all in one versatile product. Its virtually unbreakable strength allows it to be used in a variety of applications ranging from security and vandal protection to storm door and window replacement to do-it-yourself projects around the home. Its versatility allows it to be used by both the homeowner and contractor alike.

These guys will cut it to size for you

 

[mountaindew]

Thanks.I was even thinking maybe plexyglass

 

[addy1]

Make sure it is uv resistant, Plexiglas can get damaged by uv.

It will turn it yellow.

 

[mountaindew]

so you are saying notto use plexyglass

i beleive acrylic is the way to go.

 

[mountaindew]

thank you,I will try that

 

[DrDave]

Lexan might be the best. They use it for unbrakable windows in store fronts that have high crime rates.

I have one of those sitting right behind me.
Where the water comes out there are 2 pieces of plastic that has a gap of about1/8"
It has 12 pieces of plastic that is glued inside to maintain the 1/8" gap
