Last one, could you have not just got a piece of Perspex or glass to fit inside and siliconed it down over the top to solve the crack in your tank?

yeah that's exactly what I did, but apparently there is another crack as it still leaks if I use the misting system too much. After it cracked the first time I never could have trusted it again with water though. Maybe a couple of inches in the bottom, but not with 50 gallons of it again. That's a lot of pressure on the bottom pane.

Instead I've decided to do a freshwater aquarium separate from the frog tank

Did some heavy spring cleaning yesterday. I'm going to be using a lot of resurrection ferns to fill in the background this year since they're so easy and look so good. I might even delve into some orchids finally haha.

Only 3 bromeliads survived the purge.

I have to tell you, Jason, that your viv is hands down the most amazing viv I've ever laid eyes on. You did an amazing job with it. Sorry to see that it had a crack in it but you've made lemonade out of lemons. The frogs look fantastic also. Keep the updates coming. I look forward to seeing more.

Thank you! It's definitely improving over time, I'm actually not even fussed about losing the water portion anymore. It's hard to believe it's been up for almost 2 years already!
