150 Gallon Vivarium (Post as I go) plus looking for loads of advice

[Rick Mazzante]

I'm thinking about putting in possibly a pair of thumbnails (I don't know what kind yet, new to the dart frogs), right now I'm trying to figure out what to plant in it, I have some ferns and moss I just put down but I don't know what would be good things for the pots since it's only a 20 Long.

As for the Drilling on the side of the tank, what is my percentage of me busting that damn side out, I'm so scared to ruin this big of a tank. the pvc airline seems like a very good idea, but just wondering on that

Drilling a tank is not hard, and can be done safely if you take your time, keep the bit cool and use very little pressure. I know a bunch of guys who have done it. I was gonna drill my 125, but i didn't want to decrease it's value or usefulness. I built a maintenance area in my 60 so i can access my water pump, heater and do water changes. And i am doing the same in my 125. A little planning goes a long way
I'm no expert on terrestrial plants, but if you have a garden center near you that carries terrarium supplies, you should be able to find some smaller plants. There are some species of perperomia that are small, some pilea species like humidity, as do some species of fittonia. Of course, you can't go wrong with some tillandsia (air plants). I can pm you some decent links for plants if you like.
