well, a pacman frog doen't require a water feature like that, and in fact, if you make it too deep, he could drown. A simple large dish with about 2-3 inches of water in it is ample.

and for substrate, I would recommend a brick of compressed coconut husk, also called bed a beast. They like to burrow in that stuff. The moss that comes in a bag gets kinda icky and grows bacteria.

Plants, try something tropical in the houseplant section of your local nursery. Hosta's are huge and seasonal which aren't good for terreriums.

And for heat, with all the substrate and dirt. the heat won't pentrate from under the tank. Try a bulb on top of the tank. What size tank is this? A 60 watt should be ample on a timer if this is a 29 gallon. If your house gets cold at night, you may need a 25 or 40 watt night light on its own timer.

Backgrounds can be as simple or as detailed as you want them to be. A simple aquarium background with an image can go on the back of the tank, or you can attach bark and other things to the back to go even more realistic.

Hope this helps.
