ok i builded my tanks and i need to know if i can put water in it now. im not putting frogs in it until a month or two. i let the first two gals of water sit out 24 hrs. but i was thinking there are not frogs in there but someone let me know

I usually have the water features running for a month or so before introducing the frogs, and do a few water changes during this time. That way, you can solve any leakage or pump problems without bugging the frogs. Depending upon your substrate, the water may become rather brown for awhile, and this will give you a chance to change it a few times so it appears more attractive, even though most of the color is often from leached out tannins and isn't harmful.
