I will hit up a lowes and get some plexi, i like that idea.

i meant to ask, what type of lighting is best for toads? i haven't seen anything about them needing the UV/special reptile type lights or anything, and right now i am just using the one that i had used for my fish. i'll eventually get one to fit a 20long, just not sure what kind of bulb i should stick in it once i have it. i will definitely be getting more live plants, i love the ones i have right now and now i'll have room more now...probably more bromeliads, they're pretty....so yea, just want to make sure i don't end up cooking the crew!
