    This is a 20 gallon high aquarium I got at goodwill for $8, so ignore the hard water stains, they won't come off .

    The "land" side is just a 12 x 12 ceramic tile. It's held up by a little shelf that is underneath it. It's slanted because it fits in the tank perfectly, but not with the tank backing, so it slants. The toads love it, it makes it easier to get out of the water. The "ramp" in the back is another tile, 3" x 12". They like to sit back there behind the filter. The plants are arrowhead leaf vine and pothos. They'll both vine out and fill the tank. The roots that are in the water will help to clean it. Pothos roots, in particular, are supposed to eat up the nitrates like crazy.

    If course, everyone is being camera shy. If you look close, Luigi is on the log in front of the filter, I think you can only see his head.

    Hi,
    It looks very nice. Gary is right....... a new, clean, single edge razor blade will work very well.
    ( not the corner of the blade, of course----that will score a mark on the glass)

    Caution while scraping however,
    use distilled water and damp cloth so scraping creates as little dust as possible.

    You don't want Luigi to inhale any of the the dust.
