Looks good!!! Although it needs a nice thick layer of leaves...
18x18x24 zoo med
Ive been a member now prolly about a month now,I have been doing a lot of research on tank construction and different frogs. There are some awesome tanks on here. I bought the zoo med 18x18x24 at petsmart while they were on sale and got a digital thermometer and hygtometer as well. I then attended the Daytona Beach Reptile convention where I picked up hydroballs, soil, moss and filter materials from JP(feelin froggy), great guy and gave me some awesome deals, I also picked up a nice piece of driftwood from him. For the back round I used GS, silicone and coco fiber. This was my first build and I learned a lot from some mistakes, I think it turned out pretty good though for my first build. I then picked out my plants from walmart and from Tropiflora. I got some great bromeliads from Tropiflora and some great deals. I think I may of over planted and still have a few extra plants that did not make it in the tank, but I think it makes it feel more natural and gives plenty of hiding spots for the frogs. I still have to add some leaf litter and I am waiting for the tank to settle in and then pick up some frogs. I am thinking about adding about 3 leucamelas. any suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated since this is my first build and Im new to dart frogs I still have a lot to learn.

just a few quick updates, I picked up all my bugs. I got the melanogaster fruit fly kit with two cultures, two things of phoenix worms, and some spring tales from Josh's Frogs, I also picked up some leaf litter and some termites from JP feelinfroggy. Then this weekend at the fire show I picked up the frogs from Bill Schwinn, I ended up going with three Surinam Cobalts. I also picked up some more moss i dont know what kind it is exactly but it is kind of feather like.

at first they were out and hopping around but now they have started to hide only coming out when I put the flies and termites in. They love their bugs, I put in the termites in Sun afternoon and went out for a little bit and came home and they had eaten them all up. I would definitely recommend them. Ill post some more pics of the updated tank when I finish adding the rest of the moss and some more leaf litter.
