Vertical Conversion of “Zilla Critter Keeper” for tree frogs

[flybyferns]

that sure is one spoiled frog.
what kind of filter are you using for the froggy spa?

A little 10/15 Fluval. It's overkill, I know.
But it's a sponge filter, so I would rather it be overkill than not enough- since they pee in the water everyday!

NICE! this is exactly what I needed to know in order to do my vertical conversion. I have the same type of screen lid this one has, mine is a 20 gallon though. Its more than likely the same brand, I dont know where to find that info out though. Anyway, I might do mine a little different though leaving a little bit of screen at the "top" for ventilation and the rest plexiglass. Thanks Lynn!

Omar,
The reason I dropped the ventilation area about 4 1/2" is because the mist head is very close to the top. I don't want some of the spray coning out of the screen ! I am planning to point the mist towards the sides. I goes pretty far. The open vent area is 17" x 8 ish" . I'm actually a little concerned it is too large an area? BUT, the top is glass, I don't want any fried frogs.

I see. That is awesome. Maybe I should incorporate a misting system in this one. I want to take my time and build a bad *** viv, done right. Possibly want a White's next. I'll definitely be doing my homework on here before executing anything. Thanks again for this awesome write up.

BTW, the name Boggie Smalls. How did that come about? I'm sure its got to with something with Notorious B.I.G. aka "Biggy Smalls"? Either way, I absolutely love it.
