    having live plants would really help with this - they can take up ammonia and nitrates and therefore act as biological filtration.

    Bacteria that colonize surfaces in the filter and tank also break down ammonia. Moving water helps a bit because it supplies them with more oxygen, so they can work faster.

    There is two moss balls (I intend to get more) and a valis that has been snail battered

    I've not read one comment about the actual layout and if it's as great as I think it is for my FBTs... I was being creative with what I had at hand. I have spare tanks and faunariums should I need to separate but I like this set up and will keep it like this if possible..
    Today I took my brown anole away from the tree frogs, even though resources say they can live together, they haven't fought, I did it because the humidity the frogs are enjoying seemed bad for his skin, I'm not oblivious to the state of my animals, and am keeping a close eye on this new arrangement.
