it's 60x60x45, and it looks small because I took the picture close up.
and thanks for the suggestions

Interesting how you made one of the sides become the new front; guess it's good idea to get rid of door glass break as long as can easily reach from access side. Yes, enclosure needs a couple of branches that reach the top and will support adult frogs; lots of ideas in the member's builds. Once you are happy with location; then can add a climbing type vine plant to fill it up. You can also cover that side with same material in the back. Good luck !

What do you mean one of the sides as the new front??

[immortalspuddy]

Okay so I added a branch for them and rearranged a few of the plants a little bit

the front needs sorting out and the things rearranging a little bit more but that can be done at a later date when it's not almost 11pm here.

Also I'm planning on getting a Magnaturals next month to go in that space on the left hand side of the viv, which is when I'll probably shift as many things as possible to make it a bit neater. But the photo makes it look a whole lot messier than it actually is, which is annoying.

It looks good! Once you get your magnaturals, if you are moving stuff again, I read somewhere about a rule of thirds.. Divide the tank into thirds or something like that. I am sure one of the experts on here can point you in the right direction. There is some amazing info on the terrarium build forum.

Looking good. The main rule I follow when laying a tank out is to have something (a piece of wood, a plant, a rock... something) that will be the main feature in the tank. Position that piece so it is off center. When someone looks at the tank their eyes are drawn to that one thing right away and it causes the tank as a whole to feel more natural and flow better

Thank you all for the advice, it's my first proper live plant set up so it's all a learning curve for me, but I like it a lot better than the fake plants now. I can't ever go back :P
It's a shame that the pictures don't do it justice, they make it look smaller and more crowded than it is.
