Looks good so far!
Though, I would resize the pics.

I've been wanting to set up a dart frog tank... but I keep putting it to the side.
I can help the lfs with their tank, but can't start one for myself

Very cool, I am super jealous, and will probably have a house overrun with poison darts thanks to you. Good job, my wife sends her thanks also for helping to underfund our unborn childrens college education.

That is awesome. The only thing I could think of is to add some more plants to the crevices in the background. That big indent right in the middle is begging for a nice big plant.

and possibly a mister in the small pool?

It turned out really cool IMO.

If you do build another maybe you could try making the background and stream as one unit. You could possibly run tubing from the pumps output up higher on the backside of the background and with the output deflected thru the frontside making a waterfall effect down into a pool or same stream.

Looks great though as is and thanks for sharing.
