I have a 55 that isn't being used and won't be for a while but I love salamandars and frogs and so does my wife. If I was to set this up as a vivarium, how would I go about it? 1/2 land and 1/2 water? A land platform for the critters to climb up on?
What kind of plants could I put in that would grow well and make a "lawn" for them to feel secure?
Do the salamandars need land hiding places? Do the frogs need aquatic plants? I wouldn't go with anything like an African clawed because I like the dwarf frogs. What kind of plants are needed for all of them to lay their eggs and make their clusters?
How much lighting is needed or does that depend on how many plants?
Will these critters tolorate the standard dosing that comes with a planted tank?
If I make a raft type land structure, what kind of substrate would be best?
