Thank you for the input, Neil. Yes, this was not the best way to go about putting a vivarium together. Having previously been a veteran of saltwater tanks and heavily-planted freshwater tanks, I am accustomed to advising newbies to do as much research as possible beforehand and always try to buy good equipment right from the start. Unfortunately, this was a case of desperately trying to console a cute little girl (who has her daddy wrapped around her finger) as quickly as possible. With the hectic, holiday season here, if I hadn't put something together right away, it likely would have been several weeks before we'd have time to get around to it. With all the research and proper planning I have done with past hobbies, I'm hoping I could get a pass this one time as long as I haven't done anything to completely mess it all up or harm the frogs.

Below is a list of the live plants I have added to the viv, as best as I can recall. A couple of them I bought in haste and had to identify after the fact by looking at photos of the plants offered by the LPS. However, I know what most of them are, and as far as I can find, none of them appear to be on a "Not Recommended" list for frog habitats.

Peacock Fern (Selaginella uncinata)
Cryptocoryne wendtii
White Ribbon Plant (Dracaena sanderiana)
What I believe to be Amazon Sword (Echinodorus amazonicus)
Java Fern (Microsorum pteropus)
Riccia fluitans


After doing some more research on the AGTF, I think they should be able to do fine at the top end of the recommended ranges for temp and humidity. Those levels should just meet the bottom end of the recommended ranges for most, if not all, of my live plants. I have installed the HygroTherm and hooked up my ReptiFogger and heating mat for automated control. I'm hoping I should be able to get away with programming the settings to 80°F and 80%RH, with a nighttime drop in temp down to around 75-76°F. Would this be acceptable?
