I'm not sure I understand what you are doing. I pump my water features out through Fluval filters with stacks of different media depending on the setup.

Okay.
1st: Imagine say a 40breeder. Or a tank that is say 3ft tall(imagine). Now the bottom is like a well. It has water down there. The frogs cannot just go down there because it has a "rack" made of something I heard they call in another forum "egg" crates. Its like, it has large dimond shaped holes which is like a rack used to hold things. Or whatever, it is used for many things. Its made of plastic and base color is white. Since the holes are TOO big, big enough the frogs can fall through.
2nd Imagine that egg crate had glued on either smooth aquarium rocks, or something like that. Right under the crate there would be a cloth mesh that should let the water through but not pewp. Or dead insects or whatever. Which still some ammonia will go through. This rack will be standing on pieces of plastic glued to the sides as to prevent it from going down. You know? To hold it in place. So you can remove it, but it cant go any lower.
3rd: under the rack there would be atleast 6-8inches deep of water, a pump like say a magdrive or something like that. so water would be going from this said reservouir through the tube.
4th: Water goes in pump, through the tube, into a long pvc pipe that would have 100s of small holes drilled into it. So the drops wouldnt be like heavy drops. But more like, like gentle rain. Like those habba misters. Which then the rain would be going down into the rocks.
5th: Water goes through the rocks(the rocks will be glued to leave small holes that frogs cant go in but water can), wash down the poop into the mesh. Then the water would be cleaned and into the reservoir it goes.
6th:In the reservouir, there would be a heater to keep the water warm. So said if a species wouldnt mind the rain system going "All" the time. Then I wouldnt need a heat lamp(I hate infrared lights). If it cant go off all the time I can just get a light the dark ones. So its not too bright. I would still have a light on top but not you know a extremely bright one.
7th:Water plants would go through some special made holes in the rack, so the roots fall into the water (water plants like hycanths eat nitrites or nitrates I forget), which is all that is needed. Carbon is unnecessary. all I need is a bare bottom with just pouros rocks. Then thatd be it. I can easily remove rack for cleaning.

I can put Coco fiber background. You know the one that is used for those hermit crab kits, or plants. But they come in sheets. I can make openings and put a type of food gel for plants, I can leave the roots inside the stalk comming outside. Course I would need sturdy plants. But yeah.
If its a climbing frog, I can try making a rack for them to have a bowl of worms on(in the higher level). if not id leave the worms in a small dish on bottom. Id have drift wood and stuff. The rain system would oxygenate the water. I would add some aquarium salt to make sure that the frogs get the essentials and maybe use "aloe vera" for replacing skin.

Now is it understandable?
