Marty,
do any of yours have water features using a pump? I like the idea of having a water feature with a pump but the possibility of it clogging up or breaking down and needing to access it is a problem.

Using a cannister filter would solve that but if you have a 3ft tank turned on it's end and converted into a vertical viv it would have to be an extremely powerful one to be able to suck water up the 3ft and over the back of the tank and then pump it back and over again
