Returning to pacman frogs, checklist to be prepared

Can't use filtered water! Filters do not remove the chlorine and heavy metals. Buy some water treatment. You need to throw away that substrate and make some more with treated tap water.

Arghh! Alright I will go and buy more Eco earth I bought those things that expand, but looks like I need to buy some more again.
Thanks guys
