Misting questions

[infamouschris7]

I understand that these frogs need a dechlorinator for there water bowls which I do have but it leaves stains on the glass. I'm tired of having to scrub these off when I clean their tanks every month. I was wondering if it would be possible to mist the aquarium with water from my water purifier. I have a PUR water purifier attached to my sink and wanted to know if that would be good enough to mist without having to add a dechlorinator?

All I want is there to be no stains unless there is another way of preventing stains

The stains being left on your glass are from minerals in the water. Even filtered water will leave some water spots. If your water filter doesn't filter chlorine it's still not safe to mist with.

The very best water to mist with is Distilled. Distilled water is totally pure, there are no minerals in it to stain the glass. Keep in mind, you don't want your animals to soak in distilled water because it could rob them of vitamins and minerals, but it's perfectly safe to mist them with it. I mist all of my tanks with distilled water. I buy it for 85 cents per gallon at my local grocery store.

Like Cam said, you can mist with distilled water. Try not to spray the frog directly. It can leach the nutrients from the frog's skin. That is why you still need to use dechlorinated water for the water dish, expanding substrate, etc.
