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
