Here is a picture of my Fire Belly Toad tank. I am using an ESU island water fall Filter. This might something you might like.

Ok after going through this, I think this is way to much work for something like this.
As I stated, I am using a ESU waterfall island.
This would allow plenty of filtration in your tank and give you about 4 inches. As for plants, you can go out and purchase Bog plants that should be small enough for a tank like this.
I think you will spend alot of work and time in something that may not work. As you can see I got this going on right now, I am planning on looking for small bog plants this weekend for my tank. What I am trying save you from is placing a lot of work into a tank you might want to use later for something else. Also the egg crate with meshing will allow nutrients to seap into your water and that may cause problems, unless you use laterite. Plus it may be to much water for non bog plants.

thanks, I got one at my lfs really cheap, like $20 normally going around $50 there. No one wanted it and it sat on the shelf for ever. I asked him how much, and he gave me an offer and I took it. I originally wanted this for Newts but I could not find any this year. It is a really nice filter. A store I go to uses it also in her Green frog tanks with only enough water for it to be brought into the filter pump. She has alot of nice live plants in that setup.Emg said:That's a pretty cool piece of fake rockwork there Trickster....I've never seen that anywhere around here....

I do recommend it for those who want to try a amphibian tank. Its one of the nicer filters/water falls I have seen.
Oh by the way, last night I heard chirping coming from the tank and saw the frogs mating. So who knows, I may get some eggs from them and hopefully tadpoles.
