    The water is about 5" deep right now, and can be varied by +/- 2" to simulate wet/dry seasons. The pump is a Hagen Powerhead 402, which has an adjustable flow rate (it's at maximum in this video). I had to make a custom mount for the pump to keep it as low to the bottom of the tank/ug filter plate as possible, otherwise the water would have needed to be a lot deeper.

    Wow! That's one old pacman!

    You should consider doing a detailed breakdown of exactly how you made his setup sometime. It's got a lot of features that we tend to tell people to avoid because they can cause serious problems if done wrong (rocks, deeper water, ect) but I think a lot of people would be interested in reading how to do them right since it's clearly working well for your frog!
