Yeah, my vivarium isn't wet enough for aquatic plants either. Maybe if you had a water section. I find that typical houseplants that don't need much light can survive their roots sitting in water work best.
I can't think of the measurements in my mind but the height sounds okay. More would be better, but since it's measured from the top of substrate could be good. .
A reptile vitamin with A included wouldn't hurt Or one with both vitamins and calcium. Frogs can develop short-tongue syndrome from lack of A, but that usually takes a while to develop. Feed the crickets nutritious things like carrots and you could be fine.
I wouldn't trust spring water (you mean bottled water?) That can also have some chlorine in it. I'd treat the spring water too just to be sure. It may be that there's less buildup on the glass because there are fewer minerals. Britta shouldn't really be necessary unless you have lots of heavy metals in your water.
