New RETFs, New Viv, and New to the Forum!

[Frogfeet]

Hey everyone, this is my first post on the forum. I just finished building my 40 gallon vert vivarium. Which will be inhabited by a pair of Red Eyed Tree Frogs. I just ordered the frogs tonight and they should be here by Thursday or Friday. The viv is kept around 75 degrees F with a slight cool down at night. All plants are live and I mist once everyday which keeps the humidity around 85-90%. The only lighting is two 15 watt CFLs. I also have an airline that pumps into the tank at a very small amount. Is this necessary to have? I built the whole thing from just a bare 40 gallon, clean slate. So I wanted to show my tank and also ask some questions. Will be glad to here your input.
Here are some pics..

So some of my questions are when i get my frogs(I'll be getting them as c.b. babies) can they go directly into the viv or should i keep them in like a 5-10 gallon with moist paper towels before introducing them? They will be they only things in the tank so do they still need to be quarantined?
My second question is what type of vitamin power should I get. As in brand?
The only other supplies I need are a food dish, soaking pool, vitamin powder, and crickets. Is there anything else I should have on my list?

Just a suggestion, keep the frogs in a smaller environment when they are froglets. This way they find the food faster. If they find the food faster, they will grow faster. Use long fibered moss (new zealand or chilian moss) to ensure high levels of humidity and less changing the substrate(paper towel) to avoid possibly stressing the frogs out. rapashy's calcium plus is a good dust or rep-cals herpavite mixed with rep-cal calcium(3 to 1 ). Other than that, the tank looks awesome and I think you'll be fine. Redeyes are a good starter treefrog.

Today I went and got the vitamin powder and the food and soaking dishes. Also picked up a medium critter keeper for the froglets to hang out in before they go in the big tank. I'm going to get the crickets when the frogs arrive.

Nice work on the viv and it should make a very happy home for them.

Just buy crickets that are no longer than the distance between the frogs eyes.

Use a glass bowl (like a cereal bowl) for feeding. The crickets will be unable (most of the time) from escaping and if the bowl is sunk into the substrate the loose cricket will fall back in eventually.

When you mentioned vitamins, did you pick up calcium? Calcium should be dusted on the crickets at least three times a week while they are growing. You may also want to get the humidity down to about 70 percent since 90 is pretty high.

When you get your frogs let's see some pictures.

Frogfeet - Beautiful! You should be very proud of it. Looking forward frog to pics as well.
Keep them separate while they are little! Like our "forum expert" says.
Heed his suggestions as they come from a very, highly respected source.

Froglets- It's best to keep them in a simple set up for a while so that you can keep an I on what they are eating, otherwise the darn crickets just disappear into the moss. Get some weight on them. Feed them really well !

Have Fun !!!
