Community Tree Frog Tank

That would be a HUGE tank for tree frogs. Usually the ratio is 10 gallons per frog, so essentially you could keep 5 in there; but American Green Tree Frogs and Grey Tree Frogs don't get that big...so you could probably keep a few more in there.

Thank you! I will probably stick to 3 or 4 American Green Tree Frogs. I want a big tank because I am planning to have a beautiful backdrop, a waterfall, and a custom fogger. Plus lots of terrestrial and aquatic plants. I am getting a TetraFauna Viquarium kit for it, so I needed it to be tall enough for Tree Frogs, but also long enough for the waterfall and water area. Also, will they be able to swim well in it?

If you have proper humidity - which American Green Tree Frogs don't require that much humidity - they probably won't be in the water that often.

Cool, I just have a vision of this tank to be beautiful.

Your tank sounds amazing Kat! I would love to see it when its done. You have a very big tank which is good because the more room the better for tree frogs.
Most tree frogs aren't the best swimmers but if you want to have 6" of water, make sure you have many ways for them to get out. I have a half land half water vivarium for my whites tree frogs and i filled the water part with some pebbles and when they get older, i will remove the pebbles so they have more room.

Good idea with the pebbles! I will have many ways for them to get out, so the swimming thing shouldnt be a problem. Phew! Is lighting nescesary? The windows will be open, so there will be sunlight in the room during the day. But i will provide mild heating.
