Well for Christmas, my uncle gave me a 10 gallon PDF setup with 2 D. Leucomelas and a variety of plants including Philodendron scandens, Goodyera schlectendaliana, Epepremnum pinnatum, Rex Begonia, Ludisia discolor, Piliea microphylla, and Peperomia sp., and the clay balls for draining. All I've done since I've gotten my new frogs was READ READ READ and read some more. After researching different tank designs, false bottoms, and water features, I decided to setup a little bit bigger tank to give me more room to work with. I also do reef aquariums, so much of the supplies I needed to build a false bottom and water feature I already had. So this is how it went down...

Any suggestions or comments are appreciated!
Looks like you have a good start.
I would consider adding some leaf litter to cover the substrate, and to offer the frogs some additional hiding places until the plants start to grow and fill in.
