Disclaimer: I am a complete newbie when it comes to vivariums, but I'll be upgrading my little fatties (Pacific Chorus Frogs) into a larger tank here within the next few months and really want something much more aesthetically pleasing and self sustainable than what I have now.

Anywho, I was wanting to incorporate a little slow moving stream that runs into a pond. However, with the amount of junk that falls to the bottom where the water would filter, do they clog up a lot? Do you have to disassemble them a lot? I'm sorry if these questions are dumb, but I've never owned fish or have had to use any sort of water pump, filter, and all that jazz. If it helps, I plan to use the hydro ball & weed blocker screen combo under the substrate but am not opposed to a false bottom set up if it is better for the water feature.

Also, if anyone has any recommendations for plants that are very hardy and can take a beating from me and my frogs, it would be much appreciated!
