Thank You for the kind words guys! I really appreciate the feedback. I'm glad the pics show up through the computer, I guess the website I use to host the images doesn't like tapatalk. For some reason the forum's built in file attachment system wouldn't accept my images even though I made sure they were the correct size and image type.

The land is separated from the water with that lexan platform I made, and I used a bottom layer of larger gravel underneath the eco-complete black gravel, so the water comes to just under the gravel line. The substrate (ABG mix) is a good 2.5 inches above the water. Some of the substrate does fall into the water, but normally it just sinks into the gravel - sphagnum and charcoal float and are easy to remove and smaller particulate is removed by the external canister filter.

This was my thinking as well, the floor space is about 12x12 but there is plenty of vertical climbing space and will be more once my broms come in and things start to grow out. I was thinking a more arboreal dart frog might be suitable, but I understand they are a little more difficult. I've never done frogs before, and I do prefer the idea of them hanging out and laying tadpoles in the broms and such, but my first priority is definitely the comfort of the creatures.

I've since stuck in a few aquatic plants, sword, anubia, and java fern which are all doing pretty well so far. Not sure the microgramma vacciniifolia is going to make it which is a shame, because it's one of my favorites and is somewhat hard to source. I'm using a 5k and 6.4k 23 watt bulbs for the plants.

My next step is to get the humidity stable again, and start to think about the C02 reactor - the ultrasonic humidifier I use to keep my terrarium room humid crapped out and I need to replace it next weel. I've already got half of the wire mesh top covered with spare lexan, and should have enough to make a cover for the other side but I also need to rig up a new, smaller fan and figure out how to install it inside the viv without being noticed. Right now I just have a giant computer fan rigged up pulling in air from outside the viv. The C02 reactor will use a slightly cumbersome but cheap biological engine to produce supplemental C02 for the plants, keep algae blooms to a minimum, and provide extra water movement through airline tubing running down to the large air stone under the platform.

Updated pics coming soon!
