hello and thank you for reading. on the 1st i field the tube up and seat my frog tank and my fake plants and my fake wood things in it. the next moring our mades came in and put bleach in the tube to clean it not knowing that stuff was in there. she said she was sleepy and said im sorry 5000000 time over and over. ok i wash out the tank really good. it does not smell like bleach i scurb it to death. now the fake stuff smells like bleach and i scurb those to death too. what can i do? im new and need help and please dont tell me i need new stuff. im just so lost i was planing on picking my frog up this weekend. and i done about a month and a half on readign about green tree frogs please help. is petco a good place to get green tree frogs. and one more thing how do i know when its time to clean the tank. im going to have one green tree frog and i cant wait i know if i have to buy new stuff i will have to put him/her on hold. and i cant wait.
thank you for your time.

Just set up the tank in a basic, bare-bones fashion without the fake stuff. Put in the substrate and a clean water bowl, and maybe find a stick from outdoors. Later, when the bleach fumes have gone away, then put in the fake stuff.

Be sure to flush out the tank with clean water a couple more times just to be sure.

As far as cleaning, I don't know what kind of habits a GTF has, but my dumpy frog often defecates either in his water or food bowl. And when he goes on the substrate, I can usually smell it or see it.

So just check the tank out every day or two and clean out what you see. Change the water bowl daily just to be safe. Takes only a few minutes a day.
