Red eyed Tree Frog setup questions

[ViperJr]

Do you need to worry about maintaining the water level in the bottom under the false floor if you use a pump for a waterfall feature or does the water level stay pretty constant from a mister or fogger?

I'm sorry, I do not understand what you're asking. The water under the false bottom/drainage layer is just unwanted, excess water from misting/watering the plants etc. This is supposed to be siphon out (or removed somehow). The waterfall (if we're still talking about the commercial available, which we talked about earlier) do not have anything to do with the water outside itself.
I might not be answering your question, but I don't understand what you asking. IF you could elaborate, I might be able to help more

With a false floor and background is it ok to have the background go down into the bottom where the water sits or do you want the background to stop where the false floor begins.

It all depends on what your background is made of.

And yes, Hydroton -> Plantation soil -> leaf litter sounds perfect

for the water level i was talking about I was referring to if running a DIY waterfall that would invovle a pump down in the bottom of the tank

If i do a DIY background i'll probably go the styrofoam route using it to make my rock background then covering it with quikcrete or groute and then painting it.

i use a fogger on my 2 RETFs tank and they do fine, but also remember to not keep it too humid in there and that results in more skin and fungal problems, make sure there is good ventilation in the tank

well before going to work onthe bigger setup I decided to get a 10 gallon (petsmart had 10 gallon tanks for 13.50) to practice with. Going to do a false bottom on this. Whats a good height for the false bottom?
