    Letting water sit with aeration from air pump or water head is OK; only if your tap water does not have chloramines. If it does; a water conditioner for reptiles or fish is required since chloramines are more stable than Cl and will not gas out.

    Not sure if there are other problems in your set-up; but this one is important. Need to take care of it as soon as you can or your frogs will continue getting sick and die.
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    ok, i will get some water test stuff and see about my tap water. i did use some drops from my fish tank conditioner and when mister grey got out of the water he looked like he was trying to wipe himself off, like it was bothering him - so i dunked him in a bowl of the untreated water and then he seemed okay. so that kind of freaked me out and i haven't added anything to the water since then. :S
