Hi everyone! Haven't been here in a while, finally built our house! My poor tank has dwindled down to a 13 gallon fluval evo (which is really cool by the way) My dream was to have a monster 180 reef, and I thought I planned it perfectly in our house plans....well things look different in real life! I can still fit a 180, but for now I think I'm going to use a 65 gallon I already have (spent enough money)
So my question is.....I used the 65 as a half water half land frog tank(hopefully the silicone comes off) I had firebelly toads and endlers fish in the tank
I know the frogs supposedly release toxins so will the tank be safe after a good cleaning?
My frogs moved to a new 30 gallon (same footprint)
Here's a pic of my frogs in their new home, and a pic of where the salt tank will be, it will take up the whole top of cabinet(don't mind my dirty tank)
Thanks for your help! Glad to be back

I know my frog tanks had tons of plants in them with soil and fertilizer. That fertilizer component and the associated phosphates and other chemicals is what would have given me pause. Plus, most reptile tanks are thin glass because they aren't designed to be fully filled with water.
Those would be my concerns. For reference on experience, here's my old red eye tree frog tank, though I haven't had any in a couple years

Wow! Beautiful tank! My tank is an aquarium for fish. I only used organic dirt and never used any fertilizer or chemicals. Just silicone on my plexiglass divider.....which failed. I'm gonna give it a good cleaning and see what it looks like
