    Default fbt tank

    hi, I need help making a half land half water tank for my fire bellied toad. I tried Plexiglas and i guess I measured the tank wrong and everything was just ruined.Do you know how much inches i have to cut the Plexiglas to be able to do the 50/50 tank for a 10 gallon and what glue is good to not have the water seep through? I don't like using gravel because I feel like its not safe for the toads. So any other safer ways to make a 50/50 tank would be fine anyways thanks...

    Just measure the tank, cut it that big. I think silicone would be the best thing to use to seal it. I have never done it this way though. I just make the land areas out of rocks too big for them to eat.

    I don't put a divider between the water and the land. I just pile up the gravel to get it above the waterline were I want land then cover with substrate. That allows the roots of plants to get down to water and I don't have to fuss with watering them.

    I'd think this would give more places for the nitro-bacter and such to thrive and help keep the ammonia level down.

    I went a very simple way
    20 gallon aquarium
    1 corner filter for 30 gallons
    1 floating land ornament
    5 anubia afzeli
    no gravel and 5 inches deep of water expanding the entire tank
    1 5,100k fish UVB bulb 10W
    1 25W incandescent bulb for heat
    the tank holds 4 frogs very well and they like it because they can swim and hide in the plants
