I can't unhear you as one of the beatles

May I ask some advice? How might you service the filter if needed? Also, how often do you water change something like this? I imagine with a lot of the water running through plant material that it filters itself pretty well but what about your sponges on the bottom getting super clogged up? Also, most people tend to say you should have darts with a water feature. I'm want to do it myself too, but I want to be sure I do it right. Have you ever been worried for their safety in/around the water? Thanks and I love this build. It is so inspiring!

You should put some cork in the river so they don’t drown, and add some salamanders!

All your work including the ones you don’t like are out of this world 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😀🐜🇬🇧💙

Really nice. I made a few various enclosures like this. One thing to warn the viewer who wants to do a build like this but hold some kind of amphibian is to make sure you get FISH SAFE foam. I have never had luck with fully sealing the housing foam and it is toxic. I killed so many fish learning that l lesson. Even with absolutely tons of silicone. things will shift, open up and leach those toxins into water then murder your fish, frogs, newts.

I built one with pond safe foam and I have had 0 problems in my dwarf frog, fish and mystery snail tank!

Like it, the set up is good keep the work up👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[familytan]

Lovely! Do you need to routinely spray the side and top to keep it moist? Any issues with isopods drowning in the river?

[hognoseboy]

When is the mini natural setup going to be available on the ant antics website. I can’t wait for it to come out.

[joeweiland]

Right on man! New sub here, can we see a one year update?

[cartermick]

What level of ppi was foam you used on the outside ? And how many gph was the pump ?

[rider]

I have a big 7ft oak glass mirrored back display what should I waterproof the inside with for a high humidity dart frog vivarium?

[abbotmoffat]

Nice build... can you post a link to the foam board you use?
