We are needing to know just how much work is entailed weekly, monthly, etc. We are trying to determine if this is the responsible thing for us to do. We would rather not do it than harm a frog. If you could help us in this endeavor, we would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

Very true. If you DO like the look of the broms but would like a plant to go into the substrate Ide recommend one of the Cryptanthus variety. The "Pink Starlite" and "Ruby" versions are both quite nice and ad a splash of color to a terrarium.

Nice to see you do a dart from video. I got into dart frogs after I had a 90g aquarium leak and ruin my kitchen floor. 1) you don't need spaghnum moss over the ABG. Thats super old school. Leaf litter over the abg is just fine. 2) you need a way to drain the water out of the drainage layer once it builds up.
