Badger, nice so far. My biggest suggestion is to have a false bottom of either eggcrate or hydroballs.... stone will work also. Cover that with some screen material and then the substrate above that. Have an area where you can access the false bottom too. This will be for sliding in a hose for drainage since the water will eventually build up and need draining.

As for plants, your Whites are aggressive eaters and heavy frogs once grown so stuff like Bromeliads and Snake plants are the way to go.
I also use leaf liter on top of my substrate since its easy to remove and clean and helps keep the dirt/substrate off the frogs.

I like the holes your adding in your background, will allow you to slide a bromeliad right in and the Brom will eventually attach itself there.

Thanks! Will do on the false bottom. how much do hydroballs go far/ where would one get them? I picked up the silicone and eco earth today as well. I will me using sphagnum moss on top of the eco earth, would that work as good as leaf litter? Thanks again for the comment.

Do you have to put soil into the holes before you insert the Bromeliads?

I have an tank exactly like that that has become available (meaning the last of my fish died). I'll be very interested in watching Dalton's progress!
