Now we just need frogs! Also a plug in strip for the light and fogger and a water change so its not a tea fountain.

Jelly Bean! Obviously good kitty for posing.

Also what are those blue ball things? And where is the frog? Or do you not have it yet?

[stephanbakir]

looks awesome.

[Shmoges]

No froggies yet we are just getting it running. We will get fire bellied toads green tree frogs and bumble bee walking toads. The balls are called bio balls I think and they are from a wet dry out of tank filtration set up for salt water I got years ago.

[NennaMeerkat]

What do the balls do exactly? I have never seen nor heard of them before.

*holds back cute comment*

[TeaNinja]

lol, i think those balls just collect the scum from the tank.

[Shmoges]

What they do is provide surface area for bacteria to grow and help clean the water passing through aka biological filtration with mechanical assistance.

I got a timer and set it for every two hours for I think 30 minutes of fog. It doesn't seem to spill up anto land much at all so I hope the frogs wont be afraid of the creepy water.

[stephanbakir]

looks awesome.

Is Jelly Bean a Maine Coon (sp)?? We used to have one and people would mistake him for a puppy cos he was HUUUUGE.

[Shmoges]

Yeah she is Maine Coon.

[vendettaseve]

Nice looking setup. Looking forward to more pics with frogs :)

Also those blue balls are sold here as "cricket savers" gives your bugs something to hold onto so you can have a deeper water dish for them lol. Im sure its just a scheme to sell them for 5 bucks each tho.

[stephanbakir]

5$ ea???? They robbed ya

[vendettaseve]

5$ ea???? They robbed ya


Lol dont be silly, I diddent buy them.




I spent 10 dollars on a bottle of jelly water instead :P

[stephanbakir]

You can buy that stuff dry for pennies, 8$ will get you a box and it will last years :) Just add water.
