Pond Temperature?

[guilletto]

What temperature should have the water of the pond?

[DartEd]

Water temps should be delegated by ambient temp in the vivarium. What species of amphibian are you planing on keeping?

Amazon Milk Frog. I'm gonna put a rain system, a waterfall and a tupper/bowl well decorated with a fogger, but I didn't know if the temperature should be one in special. So I put mineral/spring water at normal T, and it will get hot because of the ambient, Will not?

The water will warm up with the vivarium. Environment. I would be careful with ultrasonic forgers in a water feature. They tend to heat the water and could cause detriment to your milk frog.

i've been using ultrasonic foggers in water features for quite a while. i have never had a heat issue, or any other issue for that matter. just a side note, the water in a viv will be roughly 5-10 degrees F below the ambient temp. i always regulated my false bottom temps with aquarium heaters set at roughly 78 deg. F.

I'll be a bit more specific. The water temp won't be unbearably cold in comparison to the environment in the viv. :P.

With regards to the fogger, I've read about these guys getting warm and heating the water. Not so much to a boiling point but making the water warm. I suppose it would depend on the pond size and weather you're keeping false bottom or a divided area area for water.

I dont understand... I should use environment temp water, no?
and i dont know what is ultrasonic "forgers"

what Ed meant was that the water in your vivarium will be roughly the same temp as the air in your vivarium. the inside of your vivarium is what he is calling the environment. which is correct, it's a mini environment. i actually like that term. good one Ed

sorry Ed, i didn't mean that as a correction, but to help clarify or the OP. obviously, a failed attempt

Bill I don't take offense. I enjoy our exchanges. You keep me honest and accurate. Cheers bud

[guilletto]

sorry but because of I'm Spanish I don't understand every word you say
what are ultrasonic foggers? They're regular foggers? Why do they produce heat issues? Shouldn't they produce humidity?
Thnks ya all! I'm learning so much in this forum

[deranged chipmunk]

it's OK G. English is my primary language and I'm not so good with it sometimes...lol and ultrasonic fogger is a small device that sits just below the water line and create a fog with a small, vibrating disc. it excites the water molecules and creates a fog, which in turn, creates humidity. the key to them is placement. I always hide them in some sort of container so the frogs are protected by them. I only use them for effect. a misting or rain system will create more humidity in the tank.in my mantella tank, the humidity only goes up about 2% if I run the fogger constantly.

[guilletto]

ok thank you so much! I thought fogger was well higher humidity. but it's more to decorate.

[deranged chipmunk]

keep in mind that that only goes for the little ultrasonic foggers. other foggers, like the reptifogger do create a good amount of humidity.

and the Exo terra fogger ?

[deranged chipmunk]

depending on the model, but that should do the trick

[DartEd]

I use the reptifogger but more for effect. It does a great job with humidity as bill said. I haven't run mine in about two weeks. I find misting more therapeutic.

[guilletto]

ok! well, i trynna put misting,waterfall and fogger =)

+1 on therapeutic. and it causes me less trouble than blowing stuff up. (my other therapy.. lol)
