Can I use my 90 gallon drilled as a vivarium for Dart Frogs?

You were saying I could use the overflow for drainage...what did you mean?

Edit: Oh, I'm sorry, BG was the one who said that.

The system that I'm talking about has a drainage system and your overflow box does have a drain at the bottom . this way your tank will allways have clean water goung through. This type of system is not for holding a pool for the frogs . It's for a lush plants,and dart frogs low maintenance system thats all.

Could you show an example? xD Like with a sump?

[BG]

You could use the sump I suppose. But you don't have to go this way . Don is the specialist on this topic. The reason i brought it up is because i was a fish keeper for thirty years and still is but I'm thinking of turning my 150 gal fish tank with a built in overflow box in to a dart frog tank down the road.

What I'm saying is, or asking, is what're you implying the overflow box could be used for? Sorry but I'm not 100% understanding xD...

I myself would cut out the bottom of the over flow and then screen it off from the tank. Then build my false bottom to be slightly higher than the bottom of the overflow so I could place a pump down in there for removing excess water or for running a water feature.

Having the pump down in the overflow would make access to the pump easy if you had problems later on such as it clogging up.

As Mike said, I would cover the overflow at the top so no frogs can get in there.

So you're saying to cut the actual plastic overflow box?

I like Don's idea too. That tank has alot of potential.

The viv that i saw had a nonstop water supply thru a holding tank->thru the mister on a timer->thru the tank and what everexcess water got to the bottom of the tank it drained thru a whole at the bottom of the tank in a pipe going outside . So our aquariums could become that type of system because we have the holes allready drilled in the glass.

Wow Mike, the viv we could build with that baby. :-)

That is one nice tank for a vivarium and some dart frogs.
