30 gallon x-tall viv (planning stages, some newb questions)

:D Thanks Seth! Trust me, I am totally digging the lygos, but i think my temp ranges are a bit more suited to the darts. Night time temps are in the mid to low 60s pretty consistently.
 
Darts would be my second choice. One of these days I'll start a dart tank....
 
Same. At least with the normal sized ones. Some of the ranitomeya blow the rest of the group completely out of the water though... Just wish they weren't so dang small. Maybe some day lol....

And in a day, it all comes together. Many thanks to the incomparable mellowvision for salvaging my abject failure of a false bottom so this thing could actually go forward. Also, for driving me out to Frog Day so I could get the rest of the stuff needed to put this together. The tank has been seeded with tropical springtails and orange isopods (awesome!). Not even going to take a stab at a complete plant list, but these are some of the ones I know for sure.

Adianthum sp. - NOID maiden fern
Anubias nana 'petite'
Cryptanthus sp.
Davallia parvula
Doritis pulcherrima
Microsorum thailandicum
Microsorum pteropus (trident and windelov)
Pellaea rotundifolia - button fern
Pilea 'tiny tears'
Hemionitis arifolia - heart fern
Pleurothallis allenii
Plagiomnium sp.
Schistochilum sp.
Selanginella plana
Hydrocotyle tripartita
Riccardia sp.
Marchantia sp.
Conocephalum sp.
Macgravia sp.
Microgramma vacinnifolia
Tectaria (quercifilix?) zeylanica - oak leaf fern
Various mosses

Restrepia striata, Bulbophyllum pardalotum, and Pleurothallis brighamii will be added once they arrive.
