Diy water dish.

[rjm2653]

Im still in the process of doing my great stuff background but I was wondering about making a diy water dish that looks natural. If its going to be expensive I may just get the waterfall I saw at the pet store but im not sure if there is a place at the bottom for them to soak in. Thanks

You could always make a rock out of great stuff that is indented. To seal it you can use drylock which you can get at most hardware stores, and for color you can use non-toxic acrylic paint. I hope this helps!

A do it yourself water dish has the disadvantage of not being easily cleaned; as a hard plastic comercial one can .

Does drylok come in small quantities? I was also wondering what do I use for a base when making it?

What frogs are we talking about? If they need a water area, you can make a pond, plant some water plants sticking out, add some aquatic soil, add dripping wall or small waterfall... Possibilities are endless... If you really want a water in there
you don't need an actual water dish....

I was gonna make a pond but im not sure how it will work with my foam background im making

Pics?

It doesn't go all the way down but I dont think its deep enough to run a filter... ill put a pic up late tonight. So if I go with a water dish what paint do I use

Also is there anything else I can use to seal it? They only have drylok in a gallon

[rjm2653]

Here's the tank. Im going to be doing all 3 walls with foam

So why is a problem doing a pond?

What would be the best way to do this? I see some guides online for plexiglass on an angle in there with clear silicone, but I also see that there is a guy making a land and water break with concrete that looks great

One of our mods, Amy, just had an issue with the plexi glass setup, so that may not be a permanent setup. It seems that they always end up leaking one way or another. I honestly think a false bottom would be easiest for you, but it all depends on what you really want.

I thought water depth for the filter
