Well, here we go...100 gallons. Walk me through it?!

A couple questions indirectly related to frogs. I know they need humidity from 80?%-100%
I do not want to be misting down the enclosure every day. Seriously, I did it with my gecko and it's a pain. I want a fogger, or a mister, or something...Which is better? I am looking at Amazon.com : Exo Terra Monsoon RS400 Rainfall System : Pet Habitat Decor : Pet Supplies
and also
Amazon.com : Alpine The Fogger : Pond Foggers : Pet Supplies
Any other suggestions would be great if neither of these are recommended. Just need something to keep the humidity up where it needs to be!

Ok first of all regarding a budget, please correct me my US friends, I may be off in costs.
you need to be realistic here. You have a very big tank that equal big $, especially since it is your first rank and mistakes will probably be made. Frogs themselves will be just a small fraction of costs. On the other hand if you take your time, plan carefully $ and workload you can make a killer vivarium that we all be drooling about lol

waterfalls are pain, my first tank had one, im redoing it right now. The problem with these is maintenance, you don't need to replace the water in a tank of your size with darts, but you will need to clean the tubes ( once in 1-2 months), you will need to add water once in a while. The thing is that water usually goes where it wants to, but not always where you want it to, so you need a back up plan. My back up plan with my first tank was to rip everything apart that im happily doing tight now lol

So $, Lets see:
great stuff background.... You will probably need....5-6 Cans (?) or more, especially if you do waterfall. So here are 40-50$ right there.
whatever you choose to cover that up, 40$
wood, you have some, you can find something suitable outside probably too.
egg crate, 8$?
ABG mix.... No idea how much you need, I'd think a lot, so 30-50$?
plants..... Oh boy... That part is gonna be sucking money like there is no tomorrow.
light - you can probably use the same as you used for your fish tank
you need a lid - no idea, Paul or Bill are go to people on that, but I'd think 10-20-30$.

........ Pump, tubing......etc......


And yes, you can get monsoon, but you be better off with mistking, both in a same price range, but the latter is way better. Add 100$ to your budget
