I have noticed that we as aquatic frog keepers seem to have started our obsessions in the fish keeping hobby. That seems to have caused us to set up our tanks fish style. I know when I have had turtles and newts in the past I always used screen tops with the light sitting on top. Small holes could be put in the screen to allow air lines, heater cords, and to accomidate canister and hang on back filters. Seems to make since when it comes to keeping animals in their tanks. There are a lot of losses and escapes where aquatic frogs are concerned. Is there any reason to not switch over to screen tops other than just preference?
I know there are some obvious concerns/differences such as the screen tops do not deter evaportaion or look as nice as a fish aquarium style top. There may also be a concern of the screen top being metal and perhaps some how causing harm to the frogs.
I guess I am just curious what everyones thought are on this and why you chose what you chose.
