Ernie n Bert are ridiculously dirty frogs! Their water is in constant need of changing, as well as the sides of my viv from all the froggie foottie prints and substrate trails from them cruising the glass. No way I'd do any sort of water feature that was not completely removeable for easy changing/cleaning. I contemplated a water fall until I'd had them for a while and see what they do in their pool. Forget it.

For heating my tank I have a red lamp on top along with the daytime lights. I tried just using the daytime lights but it's too cold here (I'm near Vancouver, BC... not quite igloo country, but still chilly). I run the red lamp from 5am till 10pm and it works very well for me. Mind you I had to up the misting because it burns off the humidity like crazy.

For balancing that out I went with the Exo Terra Monsoon and run it only with distilled water so it doesn't build up minerals in the tubing and won't leave mineral residue on the glass. So far, and it's been about six weeks, the thing is a DREAM.
