Default suggestions needed

I have a fish tank that I will be cleaning out soon that is 30" L x 12" W x 12" H (roughly 20 gal). I am looking to make it into something different. Any suggestions on what I can house or how I can change this tank to a viv (emphasis on what to house)? Even could consider making it into a vertical I suppose and maybe include some vines or orchids....Your suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I already have 4 turq auratus in a 20 gal tall tank .

Hi,
I made two similar tanks into verticals not too long ago. One is planted with vines, orhcids, and bromeliads and houses two dart frogs, Dendrobates pumilio 'bastimentos'.
The other one holds a gree tree frog and is planted only with orchids, including Harealla odorata, Sophronitis cernua, miniature cattleyas, terrestrial orchids and a few others.
you should decide first what kind of animal you are interested in keeping, and then find out if you can give it an adequate home. If not, move on to another animal, till you find one you can take care of. When you do, we can help you build your home. We can also help you find out info on animals you might be interested in.

do you have any pictures of the vertical tanks? I either want to house a different dart frog species than what i have or some geckos... not sure what kind.
