It's 100% necessary to have 2. I could find a way to salvage the substrate and getting a drainage layer under it

One more question. I noticed that you showed the liquitex matte varnish in the video, but had liquitex BASICS matt varnish (which I'm having a hard time finding) in the links. I'm certain they are both interchangeable, but I wanted to make sure you approved of either or for tree frogs? And also, I saw you used craftsmart acrylic paints. Are all acrylics from this line safe, are there colors I should avoid?

Question. Is a heat lamp required for green tree frogs. I’ve been reading they require 25-28 degrees Celsius during the day and lower temps at night. Would I leave the terrasky on for 8-12 hours a day? Going to have live plants and i know my mosses are dying because I have the old tank and it fills up with water too much and my soils are disgusting lol. Got this tank coming with the drain. Should I keep the drain valve open 24/7? Reckon isopods or springtails are beneficial too? It’s going to be misted daily and fogged too

What is the dri-lock for? Do you need to use it if you are using silicone and sticking substrate to the background? Also, do you need any type of filter for the pond? How does it stay clean? Do you have to drain the water periodically and replace it? And if you dont have a "drain" how would you do this? Siphon it out? I am a little lost on the pond section. I have several grey tree frogs.
@MikeTytula 3 жыл бұрын
Did you watch the entire video? Because it’s a method used an alternative to the silicone and substrate method. I would strongly recommend a small filter, or at very least a circulation pump. It’s just like any other aquarium, weekly water changes at a minimum.

What kind of filter did you use in the water if any
@MikeTytula 2 жыл бұрын
Just a cheap water pump with filter foam around the pump.

What are you using as a heat source?
@MikeTytula Жыл бұрын
They have LED's ontop that get quite hot, and the room is in the upper 70's so nothing dedicated to heat.

I'm confused of navigating the website to get all of the products can you help?
@MikeTytula Жыл бұрын
Exo Terra website is pretty much just for information there is no purchasing. To purchase, you must find one of their retailers and order the enclosure through them.

Absolutely! If someone is interested, I would happily build a tank for them.

Is there a filter needed at all
@MikeTytula Жыл бұрын
I would definitely recommend a filter unless you are doing constant water changes.

Do u need a drainage? Cause my exo terra tank didn’t come with one
@MikeTytula 2 жыл бұрын
You should have some way to remove water. Especially if they are tree frogs because most people will heavily mist and saturate the soil.

Excellent build. One question I have is when using the monsoon system what type of water should be used not to have water spots all over the glass and obstruct my view. I will be building for tree frogs.

Depends on the use case honestly! For semi-paludarium setups like this one I think that the substratum is definitely the superior choice.

In that case both will work, I know several people who house their frogs on exclusively Exo Terra Substratum and they are doing great. So realistically it's up to you
