    Well, I am really handy with aquarium sealant and a razor blade.

    There are a few ways to do it. You can use an internal or external filter just set up a land area by siliconing a piece of glass or acrylic as a divider, fill it with gravel and soil, plant, and be done... or you can do something more advanced.

    What i did with mine was silicone a piece of acrylic across, but it ends about half an inch above the bottom of the tank, allowing water to pass. I then built a waterfall feature using a pump and some rocks(make sure you have an unsealed but secure piece you can remove to unclog the pump if necessary), put together with silicone. The waterfall drains into a stream I built out of a piece of open-topped rain gutter shaped to fit with a set of heavy shears and siliconed in place to form a seal around the waterfall, leading to the water section. This way, you set up a complete current. The land section is then filled to just below the planned waterline with biologically active planting gravel (used by advanced fish-keepers). Over that, I put a layer of terrarium soil (pick your favorite brand of finely ground coconut fiber) mixed with moss. It stays moist via capillary action. I then plant this (Pothos. Lots of Pothos), and put moss and pieces of driftwood where there are no plants.

    The water side should have a log , rock, or cork bark protruding out of it to let the frogs move between areas. Use either river rock or sand as a substrate, plant it well (i plant aquatic bulbs), and maybe break a clay flower pot to provide an underwater cave or two. You end up with a nice display tank.

    Wow! Thanks for the detail... I will have to get to work on that in the bigger tank I'm getting ready for him. Sounds like it will be a big project for me... (kinda clumsy so I don't mix real well with razor blades )

    It takes about an hour, once you factor in breaks for the silicone to cure before moving to the next step.

    Where did you get your pump and how strong does it need to be to circulate the water? (Sorry about all the questions....)

    Any small water pump for an aquarium should work. Say 80 gph. Any pet store should have them
