The Frog Pond is a unique, versatile low cost alternative to your standard glass and acrylic terrarium/aquarium. We hand build a terrarium from used and styrofoam boxes (like the heavy duty Omaha Steak boxes) that are 1-1/2" thick.
First we seal the boxes with 2 coats of of a special water proof primer. Then we apply a thick layer of 100% silicone aquarium safe sealant for a water tight seal. We install a real glass front window for easy viewing. Needless to say the insulation properties of the styrofoam holds the heat twice that of a glass aquarium of the same size, a heater is not needed. We also placed recessed vent slots on each side to help facilitate air flow and ventilation.
You can use the Frog Pond as a terrarium/vivarium. It's excellent for fish, small lizards, newts, frogs, snakes, toads, and salamanders. The thick styrofoam helps to maintain the heat and humidity that some of these animals and plants need. Its great for some semi-arid and desert plants and animals too, just curtail the water usage and the terrarium becomes very dry.
You can create many different environments with the Frog Pond including swamp, bog, rain forest, woodland and shoreline habitats. It all depends on what your animals needs require. Go to http://www.etsy.com/shop/PondviewSystems
