Default Your opinions please

well it comes that time of year here in Oz when some are considering what to do with their tax money. i am going to get a new enclosure for my tree frogs but am conflicted in what direction to go. I like and would be happy with both so i was hoping that you guys might be willing to share your opinions and thoughts.

both are from Reptiles inc

option 1:


Option 2:
Same tank but with this in it

I'm with Beck on this one.... The Whites would love to perch on the rocky ledges.
The first one also gives the tank a more diverse dimensional look too.

I have to agree, first one is much better.

I agree with the others, the first one seems to maximize your usable enclosure space.

Although I prefer to create my own backgrounds, If I were to choose between these two, I would also go for the first one. It looks better in my opinion.

Plus the second one dosn't seem to cover the back of the glass completely.

Hey Ausfrog, yeah that seems to be the consensus. I am looking into putting a water pump in there and make the background into a waterfall as well.

If I use the water pump from an Exo Terra turtle cliff I can have the 3 in one filter as well.

So does the tank come set up like that or are you buying the background separately and siliconing in? Is the fake rock that rubbery type moulded rock?

Water fall would be sweet, my frogs loved theirs but i took it out because i think it was contributing to excessively high humidity. What does the turtle pump do? What is the 3 in 1?
