    Try a 60 W "red bulb" from your LPS. You can get a small light fixture from lowes, homedepot, or even walmart for about 8 bucks (the one that has a clamp for it and says max wattage 75). We suspend ours about 5-6 inches over the tank and the temp sits at 83-87 F. You can also use a UTH (under tank heater) and secure it to the side of your tank for extra heat.

    Caspian and DeeDub please remain on topic for the sake of the OP.

    Also DeeDub no name calling! No matter if you disagree with the OP having gravel that was uncalled for.

    Thank you

    Sorry, Grif

    I do have a question that Annawolv may also have:

    I've always used large smooth stones for the aquatic part of my frogs tanks. But is there anything else to use? I know sand isn't good for some frogs, and soil would just turn into mud, but are smooth stones the only safe and clean option for underwater substrate?

    And I second SCF, the red heat lamps are great and usually cheap, too. UVB bulbs can work as well, but they aren't half as effective in warming up a tank as heat bulbs are. They do provide Vitamin D3, though. One thing I see a lot is two bulbs for one tank: A Heat bulb and a UVB. However, UVB bulbs aren't really necessary as far as I know.
    My Amphibians:
    1.0.0 Rana Catesbiana (Bumpy Digtoad )
    1.0.0 Pseudacris Regilla (Levi )
    1.1.0 Ambystoma Macrodactylum (Urtham and Gargan )
    2.2.0 Bombina Orientalis ( Rosa, Sasha, Aleksis, and Dimitri )

    Rest in Peace, Gnag the Nameless, Chrome, and Thermidor
