    Well it sounds like you've got quite the nice set up idea going on. If you use the hill as a hiding point it should give you plenty of room for filtration. Are they both the same kind of frog? If they are you can make it to where the ponds are actually one big pond, separated in the middle with screen or holes drilled into the wall, so you only have to run one filter and keep both clean. Just a thought. If making it portable keeps your wife happy then that's the way to do it I cant wait to see some more updates.

    ok, materials are going to cost 405 bucks, so I'll have to wait a few months before doing it its going to be 3' by 4 or 4x4 if I decide to half it for both with a divider. cut sheets x 6 if for one frog, x 7 if seperating it out. need 12 feet of plexiglass 1" thick rod. this is for support of the plexiglass hill with sump built in underneith. either way, would be the most awsome tank for this kind of frog, he could sit in his waterfall feature, or in the water, or in the grass, or in his deep tub of coconut stuff going to save every penny, and make this happen! might even make it a bit longer, 6 foot, if I do put the deviding wall up for both frogs I'm jealous that Irish gets to do this stuff for a living, its so fun!

    Almost forgot! the type of grass with short roots is Kentucky Blue. though many companies are making ones that go deeper, true unaltered blue has only about 2" to 4" roots, nice and short for this kind of thing and wheat grass of course is still an option.
