My tank has been set up for a few days and i remember reading not to use tap water initially forgot about that and used tap water to get the substrate semi wet and watered the plants with it I've been wiping the glass to make sure nothin builds up and drys is there anything I can do to fix this and I'm getting distilled water today should I use that or just let things dry. And only add distilled water to the plants

Well now I feel insensitive.

But back to the point, I have used tap to mist here and there before I got my own DI filter, and all I have noticed is some residue after the water dries. Just spray that with DI later, and wipe the glass down, and you'll be good to go.

Cool! You'll love the mistking. I have one and it mists all 6 of my vivariums for me. Be sure to use DI with that, since tap can shorten the life of the pump.

Everthing else looks good, get some more plants in there and then frogs eventually!

I would definitely get a few more species of plant in there. you definitely will need some ground plants and few vines on the background to fill that in. Also, if you're keeping thumbnails, a few nice neoregalia wouldn't hurt.
