    Very nice indeed. Is the divider a sheet of glass or something else? I wish you luck keeping the terrestrial substrate out of the water though ;(.

    Looks god to me1

    You will have to net some floating substrate out of the water feature occasionally, however, if you add a bit of terrestrial moss, live or otherwise as a "door mat" At the entrance to the water feature, this will keep any stray substrate in the water to a minimum.

    Excellent work!

    Thanks! And an excellent idea about the terrestrial moss. I will have to give that a try as I am using a small fishing net to get the bits of substrate out. The toads think it's a game, though, as they swim into the net and won't come out!!

    John, we used a piece of plexiglass for the divider, and just cut it down to size. I'm thinking I should have angled it a bit higher for more water, but so far the toads aren't complaining. We know what to do different for next time.

    B. orientalis really enjoy having aquatic plants in their water features. They generally do not dive deep. Mine is chocked with java moss which they enjoy hanging out on top of.

    I love the tank. It looks good. Good luck keeping the substrate from getting into the water. My FBT's are always dragging stuff into the water of their tanks.

    Loving It! how Much did it cost that is a very nice tank, Its also a creative one. And its perfect for FBT. Question, Is it a bother to clean it? It looks like it would be.
