External canister filter in an exo terra terrarium?


Hi all. I want to get a fluval 107 for my african bullfrog however i'm not sure how i will fit the pipes/tubes into his enclosure which is an exo terra terrarium. The water will be 10-20cm deep (not sure yet). Not sure how they sit or

if it will be as simple as cutting holes in the mesh?
Or alternatively, any recommendations for an internal filter for shallow water that's strong enough for a muddy frog?

    I don’t think you’ll be able to get the water level high enough to ensure that the intake can maintain the suction needed to circulate down to the filter in the traditional configuration. I had a tank that I drilled two holes into the bottom of and piped the canister in that way. But, I don’t know how thick that bottom glass is an whether or not it’s tempered. So, you may want to research if that’s even feasible in this case.
