The water IS treated, ALL of it.
The only thing I need to change according to you is a dimmer.....I will do this and see if it helps.
I will not get an under tank heater, after all the research ive done and discussions ive had with people, I have decided they are not a good idea.
Hmmm obviously you take my knowledge as being unreliable. I can assure you it is NOT, but if you don't want my advice I will not assist you any further and the reason why the moss is a risk is because it causes blockages in their intestinal tract due to them not being able to digest it. Coco fiber passes right through their bowels without issue.

There are no problems with UTHs when used as directed. These are tropical frogs and need tropical temps. it very seldom reaches 75° in the rainforest. Your frog needs a constant heat source in which a UTH provides. As well as give them the proper temp gradient that they need. Night temps should be no lower than 77° to 78° and the ambient air temp should be no lower than 80 during the day. Max temp for entire enclosure should not go above 85° and humidity should be maintained at 80%.

Perhaps you should purchase a Hygrotherm Temperature and humidity control unit and combine it with a Zoo Med Reptifogger to maintain the climate within the enclosure so you can be sure all environmental climate levels are accurate. They are not very expensive and work very well. I have 6 Pacman Frogs ranging from adult to young juvenile and I have no issues.

I am just offering advice with experience. If you don't want to take it that's your decision, but you asked for help and that's what I'm trying to provide. If you don't believe it to be reliable then maybe you should ask other members to find if I'm a credible source for information about the care of these frogs.
