Waterfall - How important ?

[Nate1247]

I really don't want to build a water fall system in my Viv, I just want to make sure that If I just hand mist it 1-2 a day and watch the humidity level that that is fine. Right ?

Still trying to figure out draining...

I don't have a waterfall in any of my tanks. I have a small pool of water for soaking and then I mist daily. I use About 4 inches of Hydroton and then put Spag moss then soil on top. This way the water drains off the soil.

Ok cool

I think it will have the same effect if I put gravel then put screening with the subtrate on top

Once the water drains to the gravel...what is the best way to drain that?

You can leave a little pool of water. But when it gets to high i use a turkey baster. What kind of frogs are you gonna be putting in here?

I'll do that.

I'm just getting really paranoid (if it doesn't show ) that everyone seems to have a waterfall. My three goals:

-No waterfall
-No false bottom
-lots of breeding
