I don't know if you bothered to read my reply to your other post, but peat moss can ONLY be used if it contains NO fertilizers and if you are prepared to clean out the water source 2-3 times a day.
A 15 gallon is WAY too small for a baby. You will need a 35-75 gallon for a hatchling and will NEED to upgrade it to a 300+ gallon within 6 months.
I wish you would have done your research FIRST. Water dragons are high-matenance, high-cost, time and space consuming lizards.
They are a big responsibility.

You might want to continue your research and fininsh it before you buy anything else. You may find that a dragon is not for you.

Here's some nasty pictures of snout dammage caused by too small of a cage. REALLY LOOK at these pics....... (The dammage is not the fault of the current owner, they are all rescues.)
