Yeah... perlite is usually the cheapest.

Thanks! I'll have an update picture later tonight when I get the perlite and another light bulb and when all the VFTs are in.

I have absolutely no experience in paludariums, but why not get a tree frog? Tree frogs would probobly fare better than the anoles if they fell into the water. You could always get crabs......

I'm scared of frogs. EEEEKKS.

As far as crabs, I don't know much about them. I really like Vampire Crabs but man, they're expensive!

With the anubias and all.

Sorry for the cloudy water. I had to get a shrimp out that was stuck in the corner. OMG. What a PITA that was.
