I do know with proper lighting clawed frogs produce plenty of waste to provide nutrients to water column feeding plants with sand as substrate.

    Soil is a great way to go and it's better than root tabs but it also depends what type of plants you want. I like vals and water sprite and even duckweed, the goal for my plants is to provide a lot of hiding locations, basking for the frogs, and act as a biofilter so I've selected fast growing plants with few demands that see feed on nitrates from the water column.
    I don't think you were the cause of any problem. The advice is good for a beginner and even then I make mistakes with what sand to buy.
    Do you know if the API root tabs plus iron have any ill effect on the frogs?
