Default Building first Vivarium

Hi,

I just yesterday learned of vivariums and frogs, now I am totally obsessed. I have so many questions that I don't know if I will remember to ask here on the first post.

I have an old 29g laying around and will use that.

Now, the questions.

I wanted to make it 75% land and 25% water so I could put in a couple of hardy fish.

how would I filter this water
do I need a heater in a viv setup, and what kind and where to put it
I would ideally like to have a waterfall that goes into the pond area, so I would need some way to pump the water from the pond to the waterfall.

How do I make a waterfall.

What goes on the back of the tank.

What's the deal on different substrates, drainage, and a false bottom.

I am having trouble visualizing this in my mind.

Well, if you could point me somewhere on the net with info and building pics, I would appreciate it.

Thanks for reading my first barrage of questions

TIA,

Viper
