Hey,
I want to put some FBTs in my exo terra and had a few questions
I'm gonna have it mostly water with a rocky/mossy outcrop-island in the middle so...
I need a water filter... can anyone recommend an appropriate one?
Is there anything else i need to think about?
Thanks |

Our local rep shop has one of those big crocodile head ornaments in the tank as the island. It looks quite cool with all the little frogs climbing on it  |

Sounds like a great plan - they do spend a lot of time in water so it's good to put an island in |

You can get the fluval 1 filter from a fair few shops.
Our local pets at home stocks them. Plus a few other fishy shops. |

Hi, Jono.
Im using a Fluval 1 internal filter,
http://www.aquariumguys.com/fluvalinternal.html
(Sorry its an american site)
Its powerful enough to keep the water clean to a certain degree but not so powerful that is poses a threat to the frogs/toads.
You can have it vertical with half under water and the other half out of the water, that way it creates a mini waterfall effect, Difficult to sleep with that noise though.
You get a little sponge which goes inside the filter, just need to give it a rinse out every now and then.
Have you thought about making a little water feature? Its really easy. Just need a small pump and some tubing, my frogs abosulty love it when I turn their waterfall on, they'll all climb up and sit on water flow, lol.
Have fun |
