What kind of filter did you use in the water if any

Just a cheap water pump with filter foam around the pump.

I have the same terrarium just wondering how you took the lid off without breaking the hinges at the back?
@MikeTytula3 жыл бұрын
You lift the lid all the way up 90° with the tank and pull straight up

Not all of them! But some of the bigger ones are glued together.
