thanks for all the suggestions- i have an intial setup using a large water dish for swimming. but the false bottom idea seems to be taking hold. if anyone could point to pictures of false bottom setups, nothing too flash, that would be great too. I'll have a go at posting a pic of my set up later. cheers Theo

looks good Spoon. do you just have water in the bottom and then wood/rocks to build up the terra firma? i.e. no soil or sand as such...

thanks George- great set up! I'm now looking at the blank slate-and thinking what to do!

Hi all- an exciting day today, i picked up an exo terra terrarium cheap- and its pretty big- 600 w x 600 h x 450 d. I have 3 recently metamorphosed frogs and one or two still to change. I would like to make a really nice looking tank- lots of plants and perhaps water in a section by the glass front to allow underwater viewing. I'd like any suggestions on construction of the land part and keeping the water part safe and clean for my frogs. I am imaging I'll have to get a pump to circulate and maybe filter the water, but how to divide off the water is the first challenge- in the meantime i guess a large pool or clean rocks will do. also what are your favourite plants for a terrrium? are some mosses better than others? can I leave it just naturally lit for now? are foggers and expensive or essential accessory? all comments / suggestions gratefully taken, I'll post pics when I have something to show for it. cheers, Theo.
