OK. To put my plans in more metric terms, the main tank will be a 75.7 litre tank with dimensions of 60.72L * 30.36w * 40.48H. There would be a layer of leaf litter on the tank floor somewhere between 2.5 and 7.5 cm in depth: the tank would have ceratopteris, crytocorene, likely taxiphyllum and microsorum, likely some tree branches, and perhaps a few small pots for caves. Occasionally a pair would be moved to a 18.9 litre tank to spawn, since the main tank would have multiple parosphromenus pairs: the spawning tank would have a considerably thinner layer of leaves and no decorations other than a opt or two and perhaps some ceratopteris to help maintain water quality. Finally, a plastic container would be used to store the acidic water for the tank: the nitrogen would be removed from this water by the plants (again likely ceratopteris) so as to allow the water to be reused, reducing potentially unreliable reliance on rainwater.
