All the space under the false bottoms is wasted. It could be used as a natural filter bed, exactly as undergravel filters are used in aquariums. Is there any moving water in your tank? How will you clean the water area? A vacuum cleaner? Throw a pump in there...moving water is the key to vivarium health.

One thing though: using my method for a species as big as M. nasuta would require something along the lines of a 75 gallon tank for a pair.
Your tank is very nice, and if you have already, you should create a thread about it.

It is not my intention to have stagnet water, nor do I consider the false bottom a waste. It will allow for 10-12 gallons of flowing, filtered water. I have a Whisper filter merely to act as a waterfall, but it does contain carbon. On top of that, I have an expensive, very nice canister filter. This frog can be as dirty as a turtle in water. Furthermore, I have an air pump and a few air stones under the land side of the tank to help move the water farthest away from the filters. The pond area that the frog will have access to will have water pouring into it.
