what is the difference between isopods and springtails ? Can i have both in tank or only one? which one is better?

[IrishRonin]

Well I have used Irish moss, and have never had any problems- its really beautiful when its little white flowers bloom. Your tank is look good so far, nice job! I also agree that its nice to see some one doing there research. Keep up the good work

So Guys how do i heat up the tank with the UTH at night? Also Could i leave the red night light on all night?

[LilyPad]

The UTH isn't necessary unless your temps are dropping too much. Mine is off for the summer, I *might* turn it on in winter, we'll see. I used a blue "moonlight" bulb for my frogs. I dont have two lamps though so I got sick of switching bulbs. I don't know much about red lights for the frogs.
