The tank comes like it, it is one of their best sellers. It is a thick cast latex type product

The turtle cliff is a product from Exo Terra, it is a particle, chemical and bio filter all in one. it is designed to be a refuge for turtles so they don't drown but if you don't want your wet area to deep it can be used as a waterfall. it is over kill but if you have the cash why the heck not.

Waterfalls or flowing water will contribute to a hike in humidity, but you can reduce it by slowing down the flow or by placing a fan in the top of the viv to help the cool air flow through.

There's no such thing as overkill! I just had a 24"x24"x36" tank built for my WTF's, with double overflows in the base and and external sump for particle and bio filtration. My frogs love it, i've never seen them so happy!

In the case of humidity.....i tried slowing the water fall down but it didn't make a whole lotta difference, that and i was worried it was starting to wear at my foam/cement background. I've also just installed twin fans in the hood this week, so i'll have to play around and see what results i can get out of it.

Oh, and could you tell me what company the tank your looking at is from? I could be toying with the idea of another setup!

The site is Canberra's Exotic Animal Specialists. They are based in Canberra and ship all over Australia. Sarah and Pete are both great people. There is a bit of a wait with the tanks as they are really popular but I think it will be well worth it.
