    Default 20 gallon long with a water feature?

    As the title suggests I have a 20 gallon long tank and I was thinking about getting a semi-aquatic frog (still researching my options). I wanted to make it maybe 2/3 water and 1/3 land and I can't seem to find the name of it now, but there is a particular type of filtration people suggest for that kind of set up. I was thinking a pond filter or sometime. Any advice anyone could give me on having an aquatic set up would be nice too. I've kept many tropical fish so cleaning water isn't a foriegn concept to me. And I think Mossy frogs are cool looking but it sounds like they would need a 30 gallon, there are also FBTs but they're too mainstream (yeah I'm being a hipster hahaa!) but any other kind of frog suggestion is accepted. Anyway all I need is filter suggestions and froggie suggestions. Thanks muches everyone!

    Could it be a canister filter? There's the 501 from Zoo-Med (or Zilla, Can't remember) which filters up to 15 gallons. There are also internal filters which would be submersed in the water. The little Repti-Flo Filters from Hagen work really well for that.

    I'll probably look into the Repti-flo then, as long as there is decent ease of cleaning and such.

    I work in a local pet store and I believe we are using one of the Repti-Flo filters in our Fire Belly Toad tank. There's just a small sponge and small carbon cartridge that's inside that will need to be changed every now and then. It works really well considering the media probably doesn't get changed out all that often (but our vet. tech. does the water changes frequently).
