Is this terrarium any good?

Unless your tapwater is particularly hard, I wouldn't worry about using it. You won't be able to avoid getting minerals in the water if they ever come in contact with the substrate, so don't fret about it. The only time you need to worry about having mineral-free water is for misting.

Other than that I think you should go for it.

So the the driftwood in there appears to be growing mold. I'm guessing that's bad, anyone have any suggestions on how to clean it off or kill it?

[John]

It's harmless to the frogs. It just doesn't look good to us though. All wood will mold in humid terrariums, but for most kinds of terrarium-smart wood the mold will go away after a week or two. Grape wood (which is what's sold in pet stores for reptile terrariums) tends to keep molding over and over again though. What kind of wood do you have in there?

For the buildup on the pump -- try using a denture cleaner? When you get there, that is.

I had a customer come in who was going to by a new pump for her pond water feature. We couldn't get her the one she needed, so she tried soaking it in denture cleaner overnight. Said it worked awesome and the pump is running.

I'm sure after soaking it over night, you might want to let it run for a while afterwards to remove any denture cleaner residue.

The setup looks awesome. You'll have some happy frogs when you finally add them.

The type of wood is the mopani african wood. Yeah, I hope the mold goes away but if it isn't harmful I won't worry too much about it.
