This tank has been set up for around 3 years now. It is a converted 30 gal aquarium with a false-bottom and Turface substrate. There are some old cottonwood roots and gnarles in there, and the back and sides are covered in cork bulletin board panels. The lid consists of a couple panes of glass, siliconed and hinged together. The tank is pretty old and the top frame/brace is bowed, so the lid doesn't sit flush, allowing plenty of fruit flies to escape...therefore it currently doesn't house any frogs.
My care regimen for this tank consists of benign neglect. I rarely mist. The lights are on a 12-hour light cycle. I'll throw random specimens of plants in to see how they do...some die, some go crazy (and only seem to grow in this tank--I'll put cutting in other frogs tanks and they die). I have had all sorts of volunteers pop up, not to mention various things that have spread by spore. If a plant begins to take up too much real estate, I'll rip hand fulls out and let other specimens crowd in and battle it out. It's great to watch the succession that plays out within this tank.
