Hi Bill,
Your spacial dimensions sound right. However, the endeavor of bringing the
"forest" indoors can be a costly one. I agree with the other posting that
special lighting, irrigation, heating and cooling, computer timers and regular
professional maintenance are required. Also consider enclosures specifically
dealing with animals such as frogs or amphibs etc.etc.
I've been bubbling these installations for a while now and must add that what
you are looking for is in the multiple tens of thousands of dollars range not
including a lifetime of maintenance costs to keep it right.
Good luck,
E
