Setup Ideas

[bshmerlie]

Have you ever done the foam thing? I wanted to try it but I'm a little nerveous. I also picked up an exterior canister filter that that is used for turtle tanks to help keep the water clean and will be using it on their setup. I like my water to look completly clear but it is so hard with them. They are such messy frogs.

No I havent but I been watching videos on youtube to see how its done and the best designs I've seen so I want to give it a try because originally I was just gon have some acrylic cut and go from there. Tell me about it I try hard to keep my water clear but it has turned that tea color again from the ecoearth. So I guess thats gon be part of the set up. Does that filter work good? How much was it?

I bought the zoo med 501. It is an external canister filter designed for turtle tanks which are known to be poopy animals so I sure hope it can handle a couple of small frogs. It was 40 bucks. I haven't hooked it up yet but when I do I'll let you know. Take some photos of your progress on that background and post them so I can see how you're doing. I won't be able to do my tank this weekend as I'll be out of town but I will start as soon as I get back. .I look forward to seeing your project come together as well. A 40 gal will sure make some firebellies happy.
