I got 3 of those off ebay for 52$ last weekthey're at 130-150$ here.
nice set up, and actually it got me thinking, mine is temporary and pretty basic, and a frog is not well, but when he is better i think i should do something similar with canister filter. how frequently are you changing water?
Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
Lol, I don't even want to say..... I have been changing one to two times a week with four of the little pigs in there. Also the gravel I had before compounded the problem by trapping all the solids, then when got stirred up it would clog the filter. I changed to the bigger cannister about two weeks ago and its been a little better. We'll see how it does w/o the gravel.
The frogs love the water (imagine that...lol), but I don't know if it adds any well-being or health benefits. They are bullfrogs on the other hand so I think water that is a little deeper is beneficial to their happiness. Ultimately I like setting it up and it is more aesthetically pleasing. I would recommend a nice setup but keep it simple too. They will dig up your plants and smash them down so keep live plants simple. Start with a big cannister. I had to learn the hard way. I've gone through three different ones prior to the big one I use now.

I watched that video like an hour after you uploaded it, I was wondering when you'd post a thread about it. It looks great man, very nice setup. Makes me want to get a few pyxies. Unfortunately my house gets too cold in the winter and keeping temps at 85 degrees would probably get a bit costly in a big setup like that.
i wonder if I have smaller tank for my one pixie and smaller water area that is easy to clean and change water and put reptifilter for turtles that looks like yours in a corner but is actually a filter. My concern here is hassle of changing all that water + good canister filter is actually a bit pricey.
