Filters
Hey there,
I'm making an aquatic section in my tree frogs enclosure (not strictly fish I know!) and I need a good filter for inside the tank. This guy has something like I want in this video... YouTube - RED EYE TREE FROG CARE If anyone can help me out with what filter to use that will not be too strong and easy to install inside the tank. I'm using the same tank as that guy and the same levels of water. Cheers!

I think a Fluval 1 plus should be ok, you might be able to attach some hose and direct the water upwards a few inches to make a bit of a waterfall and to help increase the humidity.
I'm no expert on frogs but I do keep a xenopus frog with my fish.

Ah that would be awesome. That's the sort of thing I'd want with the hose.
I like those little xenopus frogs! Very odd things. Is that all I'd need in terms of filteration? Does it go inside the enclosure? Sorry, I have no idea about filters!

Fluval 1 U Series Internal filter: Amazon.co.uk: Kitchen & Home
That one there? Internal! Answers that question then... haha It won't create too strong a flow will it? If the frogs fall in, they need to get back out easily as they are not strong swimmers. Cheers for your help!

Yes it sits under the water, I have a Fluval 4 in my tank, theyre pretty good. Theyre just basically a box with a sponge in and a motor with an impeller that draws the water through the sponge and filters the crap out and blows a jet of clean water out. check the size of the filter against the debth of water to make sure it will go under the surface, you can always put them sideways rather than upright so they dont need the depth. Here's my xenopus trying to eat my finger lol YouTube - 100 0284
