Hi, AAron. Thanks for the help! The proposed building plan, now defunct, was to build a tower of sorts on one half of the existing tank. The thought was to place some climbing type object in there for the tree frog. I assume it's called a tree frog for a reason. But, we just have a plain piece of unfinished molding set at an angle and M. Frog seems to like that. What is the purpose of the plants? I'll look into getting them. The tank heater sounds good. I like that it give M. Frog a choice to control his environment. What wattage would be appropriate for a tank that's 30"x12" by 18" tall? The light you suggested....it puts out UVA and UVB. That's good? I thought frogs tended away from sunlight type light. What kind of calcium do we dust the crickets with? Something we get at a health food store? And about the crickets...are they placed in the tank and left to move around on their own? Presently M.Frog is hand held and fed his meal worms. We're new to the frog world, so please excuse so many questions. We still learning.
