For the substrate first eco balls, eco earth coconut fiber and eco moss. I have a few pieces of drift wood the vine you can buy at the pet store and three plants. This tank I have up and running for over a year now. I don't use any cleaners what's so ever, paper towel only. When I clean the pond part I take out the rocks and run water over them. Main food is crickets first, meal worms and once in a while the fly's in a jar that cant fly. (sorry I cant remember the name) Question 9 I'm sorry I have not been using the vit and cal. I have a Exterra hood light with only one bulb so its not really bright. Its been three days that I know of since my frogs ate. Have not seen them poop. I don't handle them at all until now to feed them. I have the tank in with my computer and just two of us live here so not much traffic. I chance the water in the pond area once a month but I clean the filter weekly. I have small fish tank rocks in the bottom on the pond area a few larger rocks for them to sit on. I will send pictures of the tank if that would help. I have racked my brain trying to think of something I have done different, if I fed them something added something and I cant think of one thing I have changed. The only thing is I fed them a moth I caught, just a regular moth and a small night crawler. I'm not sure what frog even got the moth. Thanks for all your help
Hi Mike! Appears the camera settings are set too small or links are to thumbnails of pics processed or uploaded into some photo share utility. If you can change the photo or upload settings to 640x480 pixels it would help us see them a bit larger without overwhelming posts. Thank you !

Have you had your well water analyzed recently by a private service? Any notable findings (metals, etc.)? Also, can you perform some basic aquarium tests in the pond area water (a local pet shop could do these for you if you take bagged water to them): pH, Ammonia, Nitrites, and Nitrates; then post findings here .

You should conduct (after testing) a 100% water change of pond area and clean the filter media with water you are taking out (do not replace filter media at this time). Get in pet store (while they check your water) a small bottle of Melafix and either Seachem's Prime or Tetra's Aquatize. Treat your well water with either conditioner as if it were tap. Then prepare a gallon (or more if required) of Melafix solution as per the label instructions and use that to refill pond.

Once mixed can store the Melafix solution in a dark place for a couple of days while you use it. Continue replacing the pond water daily with the Melafix solution for a week and update us with any changes. If frogs use pond they will get medication; if not, give them baths or place them in pond where water level reaches frogs chin. After we hopefully get frogs better; recommend 25% weekly water changes with filter media cleaning on ponds water. When replacing media, do not change all at the same time. Do the pads or the bio-media but not both.

If you got good comm's with veterinary; see if he/she could get you some topical antibiotic. If not, plain over the counter neosporin or silver based anti-bacterial ointment (no pain killers) can be carefully applied to blisters area daily.

You need to get supplements and dust the frogs food with them. I use Repashy's products but RepCal is also good. Dust food weekly with CA/D3 2X and vitamins 1X on different days with skip day in between.

The moth was not "it." But those blisters (I can't see ) could very well be of bacterial origin or result of chemical exposure to ammonia/nitrites or accumulation of nitrates in water. Please keep us updated and good luck !
