Hello everyone....

I've been trying to improve on my water dragon's terrarium....and I'm mostly happy with it, except the pool is quite a hassle. Since he both drinks and defecates in it, as well as dragging in dirt, it gets dirty quick.

What I've done for the longest time is use a fish net to get out the heavy debris, then use a python water change system for water removal. Sometimes I don't get enough water pressure, so I have to use a bucket with a siphon powered by a powerhead.

And once a week, I take down all the rocks and moss that hide the pool, and wipe it down clean.

Of course, this is pretty labor intensive. What do you do?

I've considered a filter, but all the ones I can think of wouldn't be appropriate....either they stick out too much, are too weak, or just not usable.

Do any of you have an easily drained pool? I was thinking something like a troough with a spout in the bottom for easy draining, then cleaning and filling would be easy.

Anyways, let me know... thanks for your time.

whats up? i have a large cat litterbox for a pool, and i use a filter, its a 45g/ hour and has an adjustable setting, when i get home, i can email you the brand and model number, but it works well, i just use a cup to scoop out debris and do full water changes on sundays, its not too time intensive,i have two water dragons, 2 goldfish, and two little catfish. i also have moss all around the pool, to sort of clean their feet off which really minimized bedding in the pool. hope this helps, its working for me, keelsey
