How do you keep it clean?

[Lily00]

I just siphon my water out with a rubber hose. I do a full water change weekly in my fbt viv which is in a 10 gallon tank. It is set up so exactly one gallon of water fills to the desired level. Some people prefer to only change half the water at a time. It can be argue either way, but what ever floats your boat is what matters.

If you have a water pump in the viv to circulate water for a water feature, then you could plumb it to include a way to pump the water out for changes.

Ok, this sounds dumb but could you explain how you siphon it out with a hose? I've only ever used those weird looking aquarium siphon things. The ones you shake around in the water and they start sucking the water...but I don't think that would work with such a small amount of water.

Also, I was actually hoping you'd respond because I've been doing some searching around the forum and your setup sounds about like what I'm wanting to do. Do you have any pictures that you can share? I'm wanting it to be low maintenance but still healthy for the frogs.
I'm finding a huge amount of conflicting info! People saying that a dish of water in fine because the frogs like land better, people saying they need at least 50% water because they like water better...people saying that you need a filter and pump, people saying that the frogs don't like filters and pumps...special lights or regular lights... It's very confusing!
