Default Step by Step Instructions

Hi everyone,
I have a 29 gallon fish tank that I want to convert into a vivarium with Dart Frogs. I've been researching and reading websites and forums for several hours a day this past week and I just seem to find bits and pieces and can't find a nice step by step instruction guide on how to go about doing this. I will probably go fairly deluxe -- with a diy background, sump pump, waterfall, beautiful plants, etc. Does anyone know of good instructions for this? I know there are lots of variations, but it sure would be great to find one source that lists - here are your options and this is how you do it! I know, I'm probably asking too much! Thanks for your help in advance!

-Denise

well thats bc there are several different ways of doing things

i know it gets jumbled around between leca bottoms vs. false bottoms etc. etc.
carved and molded styrofoam/grout bg vs. GS bg vs. coco panel bg

I'm doing a 29 gal as well with all the features you have. I'm going with the false bottom, background made of formed polystyrene and soon to be covered in grout, all powered by a canister filter.

It's just a matter ofusing those scattered data and combining them to what would work best for you.

If you are looking for step by step for the Great Stuff/ silicone method, you could do a lot worse than the Black Jungle tutorial on their website. But like BR said, there are many paths to a good result.
