    I currently have a vaporizor beside my pacman's tank the steam rises to the lid then goes into his enclosure and creates a nice fog effect. Its not ideal and doesnt look pretty but its keeping him happy for now and keep his temps and humidity normal! And ive had this vap for YEARS!
    Just thought id share my alternative to the Zoo-Med Repti-Fogger for now.

    Thanks everyone! The repti-fogger is fine so far, and if it does break I'll just craft a home-made one, that sounds a lot cheaper.

    The problem I'm having now is with the filter. In the bottom of my terrarium I have a lot of medium-sized rocks (I didn't want it to be too deep for my baby white's to sit in). However with the filter I have it seems like it is only filtering the water in the corner where I put it. The water in the other corner is getting a little murky, and I don't want to have to do water changes every day.

    My original plan was to have a small pond in the back and have regular substrate in the rest of the bottom, but I couldn't figure out a way to do that without putting in a false bottom, which I don't have the time or money for. Now I have the rocks at the bottom, and a corner water bowl with substrate in it.

    Any suggestions for how to fix the filtering? I don't mind having a more open area of water, but I can't have it too deep because my frogs are still tiny little things. Of course, if there's a way to make a sort of "beach" and only have a pond or stream of water, that would be ideal (as long as it doesnt involve a false bottom!)

    Here are some pictures of how I have it set up now. I'm going to add more plants next week as well.

    Edit: I just realized you can't see the pump so here's another picture.

    Sorry it's kind of dark.

    You could ditch some of the rocks so that the water flow reaches the other corners of the tank. I doubt your frogs will drown, just make sure there are several things in the water for them to climb out on if they do fall in. I have a full water bottom for my red eyed tree frog, he scoots his butt down to the water at night and sticks his whole lower half in the water, then climbs back up. Best part is no foggers needed. I spray inside the cage usually once a day and the humidity is never an issue. I cover half the top with saranwrap and the other half has the light. There are live plants in ceramic pots, which the frog can climb on if it ever fell in, as well has a fake fern and a fake lily pad. And I cup feed him to avoid dead crickets in the water.

    That sounds like a good solution, do you have substrate in your tank? I was thinking of taking the bowl out and putting in the old waterfall without the pump for them to sit on. I have my crickets in a bowl too, its in the front right corner, although my frog seems to think it's a great place for her to sleep.
