the cage, you will need to support the base panel, i'm assuming it's is a screen cage. for support you could use some 2x2's laid across a yub.Then you could clean the tub once a week when u clean it's cage. You also could use some clear silicone to make a 1/4 to 1/2 inch bead around the perimeter as to not let the water escape out the sides.Not sure if silicone would be the best, of course make sure it is fully dry. you could look for a similar material, i just used silicone as an example. but it may be ok to use silicone, IM NOT SURE. Hope that helps a bit, Dave

Hi: I am unsure of the silicone for Chamns but we Dart Froggers use silicone around, inside the cage all the time(with the animals removed of course). You must use the kind that has NO fungus inhibitors. Aquarium Safe Sealant by DAP has worked fine for us. Get it at Home Depot not the Pet store, its cheaper and you get more. Cures in five minutes but put no animals in there for a week(48 hours at minimum) to be absolutely safe. Make sure there is no vinigar smell before introduction.
