[@mazwafflEz]

thank you for this!! i live in aus and have green tree frogs and want to go bio active but all info i find is American which isn't helpful for supplies. off to bunnings and the nurseries i go lol

[@BeachesScalyBeasts]

No worries! Glad you got something out of it!

[@ausfrogs]

please give an update!!

[@BeachesScalyBeasts]

Unfortunately I no longer own these guys. Now I only have one magnificent tree frog who’s in a lot more of the more recent tour videos etc.

[@draconus003]

Have you thought about using a piece of half cut pvc tubing coated with coco fiber and moss to hide the cord? Looks awesome, also where did you find that background

[@BeachesScalyBeasts]

I have thought about it but to be honest it’s so grown in now that I can’t see it. I got the universal backgrounds through my workplace, Hi-Tek Aquariums.

[@froggo5175]

what plants would you recommend for a perons tree frog?

[@BeachesScalyBeasts]

Umbrella plants, pothos, bromeliads are all good frogs friendly plants.

[@Okfairenough]

where do you get the red eye tree frogs? im finding them so hard to find

[@BeachesScalyBeasts]

Keep your eyes peeled on reptileclassifieds. They come up a few times a year at least.

[@anthonymitchell6362]

looks amazing. How did you seperate the land area from the water without the land area getting to bogged?

[@BeachesScalyBeasts]

Thanks! At around 11:30 you can see me pack out most of the land side using course aquarium sponge that some of the plants had already grown through. I used a piece of drainage fabric to seperate the mulch from the sponge.

[@natebuttski3600]

Hello, I really like your channel. I’ve been wondering is your terrariums bioactive Thank you:)

[@BeachesScalyBeasts]

Thanks! Yes they are.

[@xeno043]

What size cage/tank thing would you recommend

[@lyallsreptiles101]

How big are those terrariums mate

[@BeachesScalyBeasts]

45/45/60cm mate

[@bdb802]

Hey there, Just wondering what water pump and hosing set up did you use?

[@bdb802]

Also, what brand of eucy mulch did you use for the red eye tree frogs? Just bunnings stuff or?

[@BeachesScalyBeasts]

@@bdb802 I believe it’s an aqua one 301F internal filter or 300F. Tubing was just something that fit. Eucy mulch is ANL mulch sold at Bunnings and ANL.

[@bdb802]

@@BeachesScalyBeasts Thanks alot!

[@ausfrogs]

what do you do for heating and lighting for these frogs??

[@BeachesScalyBeasts]

They had a t5 7% uvb tube and a 6500k led light bar above them. I provided no heating other than the ambient temp rises from all the reptile tanks in the room. This garage used to get pretty hot.

[@ausfrogs]

@@BeachesScalyBeasts thanks so much man!!

[@WreckinStreetsDaily]

Can they swim? I'm really liking that setup with the water up front, I'm thinking about doing something like that i just want to make sure they can swim haha

[@BeachesScalyBeasts]

Sure can!

[@natebuttski3600]

Hello another comment sorry, where do you buy your cleanup crew etc I cants seem to find anything anywhere

[@BeachesScalyBeasts]

I bought mine off gumtree a couple of years ago. Sometimes you can get them off other local hobbyists.

[@carlynaera2344]

If you type in google pet city Mt Gravatt you can find they sell isopods and springtails :)

[@maxbenson1416]

What did you use for your substrate mix ? Thanks

[@BeachesScalyBeasts]

max benson I use a mix of eucalyptus mulch and coir peat. These days I’ll use organic potting mix underneath the mulch as well to help the plants grow.

[@serotoninu958]

What's the frog species featured on the thumbnail?

[@BeachesScalyBeasts]

onjahbro litoria Chloris - red eyed tree frog.

[@maxbenson1416]

What sort of lighting do you use for your red eyes enclosure

[@BeachesScalyBeasts]

max benson I use a high output t5 6500k plant grow light.

[@maxbenson1416]

@@BeachesScalyBeasts i noticed you didnt use a uvb light. how is this going for your frogs? are they just fine with a calcium supplement? thanks

[@BeachesScalyBeasts]

@@maxbenson1416 that’s right I haven’t been using uvb however I dust their food heavily with a good quality calcium and vitamin d3 supplement. However I’m most likely going to be replacing the globes with uvbs as I’m now running leds as well for the plants.

[@carlynaera2344]

Do you buy your activate charcoal from Bunnings ?

[@BeachesScalyBeasts]

Sure do :)

[@carlynaera2344]

@@BeachesScalyBeasts the brunnings horticultural charcoal ? Thanks for your help mate

[@carlynaera2344]

And also is it safe to buy plants from Bunnings as well

[@BeachesScalyBeasts]

@@carlynaera2344 yep that’s the brand! Yes I buy a lot through Bunnings, just wash them and keep them for a while before use.

[@carlynaera2344]

@@BeachesScalyBeasts thanks again and sorry to be a pain but do you also mix the eucy mulch in with the charcoal ? And I know this is a dumb question but just wash the plants with water ?

[@DraconisMarchVII]

Bioactive? Where is the CUC?

[@patmurphy1080]

He might have added em off camera, but it would be hard to get a clean up crew in the “swampy” tank, as the soil is waterlogged.

[@DraconisMarchVII]

@@patmurphy1080 That's not a problem at all for springtails and many isopod species.

[@patmurphy1080]

@@DraconisMarchVII really? well I assume he added them off cam

[@BeachesScalyBeasts]

Sorry mate, added them but must have missed filming it. Ok only human and I’m sometimes forgetful. Sorry!
