Just an idea.....tell me what you think

I am planning to start a vivarium and have some dart frogs...i was looking at the many diiferent options involving eggcrate, waterfalls, and rivers....and i got this idea......how about an in-tank filter for a waterfall? (my past experience is with fish) you could put the bottom part of the filter in the false bottom (the filter intake is just a grate at the bottom of the cylindrical filter) the water from the filter comes from the top out of a lip so it could pour over whatever rocks or pond you have setup right? obviously you would have to cove it up with plants or rocks or something......this idea may be crazy since i know little about vivariums..so just tell me what you think...

Just remember that you have to be able to change that filter media. what you are saying should work.

I have done 2 setups now with the Tetra InTank filters and they are workin out alright. they take the common tetra filter bags, and just slide in/out the top, so you can actually seal the whole unit into your background with the greatstuff. or like I thought of after the last one, you can wrap the filter in wax paper or something and spray the foam on it or around it and when the foam dries you can just slide the filter in and out of the little built in cradle..
