I re-read the original post... if your substrate is super dry then I'd say high humidity is definitely not the issue.
Mom to these fine frogs!
4.4.0 White's tree frogs (Litoria caerulea): Sir Honey Lime, Bok & Choi, Martha, Shirley, Leapin' Loo and Ping & Pong; 0.2.1 Amazon Milk Frogs (Trachycephalus resinifictrix): Otto & Echo and Pip-Squeak aka Tiny
2.0.0 South American Bird Poo Frogs (Hyla marmorata): Ribbit & Rupert
What's the size difference between the whites and the other frogs? Since whites get much bigger than your other species (and they do eat smaller frogs), I would worry that your other frogs will eventually become a meal if they're housed together.
When end you say you can get rid of the leopard frogs, do you mean rehome them or release them? Even though the frogs are originally wild caught it isn't a good practice to release them after keeping them in captivity. They could have been exposed to pathogens or parasites while they were with your other frogs that they will then introduce to the native frog population if released.
Excellent.
Only thing I disagree with from your answers is the advice from the reptile store. Very rarely do pet stores keep their pets in proper conditions unfortunately. Though if they have been in the tank like that for 5 years it doesn't seem to be hurting them any.
If you remove your Hydrometer probe and let it dry out it might return to normal operation.
Do you have leaf liter? Adding a thing layer will help with humidity some.
Hope that wood isn't grapevine. It looks great in the tank.

I opened a thread a few times, didnt respond.... Now I opened again.... Usually I yell a lot... Im mean lol especially when we talk about what you did here, mixing species, mixing WC and CB.. But im not in yelling mode today...
The thing is im pretty sure you won't want to do anything that would involve moving, changing things drastically. And I kinda understand, you spend a lot of $ on it and it looks good....
A few things I'll just say before im out of here.
-too high humidity, not enough ventilation = respiratory problems
-wc+cb even after long term qt is a bad bad idea, without qt it's a nightmare = parasites, possibly rana, chytrid, much more, all WC frogs have a very heavy load of parasites, so your whites have bunch of those by now too.
-the wood does look like grapevine...
- im yet to see a pet store where people are actually know what they are doing
- with my limited experience with planted vivariums... I was told that using just soil is bad on a long run, you need ABG mix type soil, bill or paul can tell you more about it.
realistically there is a way of fixing things here in the existing tank, separating both species, treating both species, completely disinfecting tank, not sure how to increase ventilliation though. Alternatively you can test them first and treat later.
Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
