Are microfauna like springtails required for live plant setups? I didnt really get enough time to cycle the tank before putting the frog in because the temporary tank I had her in was just too small. The whole microfauna thing, while I understand it, is new to me. Can I add it them in with the frog already in there?

I'm noticing a tiny bit of mold on my grapewood. Planning to clean it off when I build the false bottom in the coming weeks but is this going to be a problem? My hope is to run the fountain hose into a splitter and then have it drip down each limb of the grapewood. But if it going to mess up the wood then I obviously can't do that...
