    you're English is fine Eric. I would've never guessed-- even though I knew. Don't appologize for being smart!! And thanks Cheri for clearing that up for me. I just remember someone saying they freiked out when their whites dug down to the hydro layer, so I assumed they were bad in some way.

    Awsome guys thanx for the info. I will be redoing the terrarium tonight. Gotta get some more hydroballs after work and I will use the gravel that I have for the waterfall to fall into. Im glad I asked about this before getting the frogs.

    It's a good plan, Jess. Enjoy. Making the viv can be rewarding. Looking forward to seeing pics.

    Ok, I did it lol I took everything out and put in more hydroballs so I have a bigger drainage layer and now the water falling down the wall falls into gravel and the water running down the driftwood lands in the gravel as well. I also put in some exo terra forest moss instead of soil. Then I topped it with cocoa fiber. The pump that I bought has a good filter build into the side of it, only small particles can pass into the turbine (or whatever its called) so it should get clogged, its at the bottom of the drainage layer too so that should help. So for the record there is officially no saturated substrate

    Lemme know what u guys think about the pics. Dont be afraid to tell me if i messed up either I need all the input i can get so my frogs are happy

    Oh no lol I hope the whites wasnt hurt. I put a screen in between the hydroballs and the substrate so my frogs dont find a way down to that part of the tank.

    Jess, nice revamp! Now keep up the humidity until your thumbs arrive. You're in business! And kudos to you for taking the criticism and the opinions the way you did! You persevered and your tank is so much better for it!

    Thanx guys ^_^ im gonna add a few more rocks to the back and might add a big rock if I can find a good one. The temp/hum is perfect, staying at 78/80 so far, adding the moss subtrate bumped the humidity up a bit just hope the plants will like it. Im expecting my springtales any day now so hopefully I can get them settled and get a few backup cultures running.
