Submersible filters are pretty much going to be determined on how much room you have, where you plan on placing it and whether or not you plan on having it run your water feature as well.

Which brings me to my next question, how are you planning on running you water feature? Let me know if you need a pump. I get reptiflo 250 pumps for $7 anything you need let me know. Just cover costs of what i pick up for you, shipping is on me call it my little contribution....

Oh, and i won't tell you what the first word out of my mouth was when i saw you got a mossy......lmao!!
WOW, Bill you are awesome!!! If you have yet to gather...I live in the middle of nowhere land. It takes me an hour plus to get to a chain pet store and the only local pet store is beyond a joke. (In fact IF the state ever lays off the naturalists, I think I will open a decent pet store! OR daycare...these are hard to find in my area too.) ((I derail)) I need all the help on quality plant links and info as this forum will provide. That is why I started this thread so early in my build

I have no submersible filters lying around, only the style that hangs from the rim of the tank. I purchased (I think ZooMed brand) waterfall kit for my white's viv and took it out after feeling the need to clean everything within an inch of its life after losing my two white's back in June /July. I had planned to use that to save some money. The pump is simply a means to get the water where it is going and is surprisingly powerful, even on its lowest setting.

As for your first word...at least you understand my awesomeness lmao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do not plan to go as far as SE Asia endemic species only. I have yet to find this said amazing link that shows me what these species are...

I am gathering a lot of ideas from photos of the area where Mossy's are natively found. In my area we have a lot of limestone caves that I have spent many hours spelunking through during my college years. (my professor installs/monitors gates to keep people from vandalizing caves, but allows the bats to still fly safely in and out of the cave to forage.) I think some of what my vision is coming from those caves and ecosystems I have experienced firsthand.

I don't really want photo’s vines or anything that you would see around my local stores. I want it to look as exotic as this little guy does.
