Congratulations and Welcome!.
I personally do not own a pixie frog - I actually own a pacman frog. But the Pixie frog and the pacman frog are very similar is characteristics and care so I should help!
A 29 gallon tank? Never heard of that - kind of an odd number no? Either way recommended for a pixie frog to have a 20 gallon tank or higher so that should do! Good job on that. I am not sure if the pixie frog needs all that fancy equipment with the 1/3 tank of water. Why not just a plastic bathing container that he or she can slide into? But by all means make your tank extravagant! I personally enjoy the plastic plants but also can I suggest a background for your tank? This can help to destress the frog. lllrepticle.com ? Sounds nice. I am just not a huge fan of online shipping of living and breathing animals but I am sure a lot of people do it! Just make sure there is a garantee of some type.

Soil. good. Coconut fiber is great too because it keeps in the moisture longer. Please do not forget to pick up dechlorination drops for your frog. The chlorine in normal tap water is toxic. This means the bathing water needs to be dechlorinated, the spray spritzer to moisten the soil should also have the drops in it too. Also make sure you have a in tank temp and humidity monitor to watch the ranges.. I personally do not need a heating pad because my house is a warm temperature normally. Can I suggest getting the temp gauge first and taking a look at it every so often during the day to see how the tank is doing temp wise? Maybe you are like my house and it is unnecessary for a heating pad. Why is a heating pad on the bottom bad? The frog usually digs under the ground to cool off but if the heat is on the bottom of the tank you could hurt him or her.

For the crickets - I actually went to the dollar section of my pharmacy and picked out a food storage container and poked holes in the top. I placed the crickets in with veggies and potatos and they love it! They also have a moist paper towel on the bottom to drink if they get thirsty. Sounds like a buffet for a king cricket to me! Also you can get the shaker but what do you think about getting a sandwich bag and placing a table spoon of calcium powder in zipping the bag and shaking? Works for me. lol. 200 is a lot of crickets. My pacman frog is young so he eats around 4 to 6 medium crickets a day.
I urge you to go ahead and keep researching and asking all the questions you need.

This link I gave you is a WONDERFUL outline of a care sheet for pacman frogs. I know it isn't about pixie frogs and there is some variations but I figured I would get you one step in the door.. Good luck!!
