I don't know about salvaging the tank, but you should'nt be housing different Herps together like that, especially in a tank so small. If it was a tank that was 5 times the size, then I would say sure.

A 10 gallon is too small for one green tree frog, much less a tree frog AND a diffrent kind of herp.

I agree with Shlegelbagel. I missed that. that is way to many animals for that small a tank even if they were all anoles 5 or 6 in a 10 is too many to have even 2 species in the same 10 too much! I am very adamant about this I have posted several times recently. 4 different species is to much for even large vivs. For a 10 I am actualy surprised your animals have survived. I dont want to sound mean but you need more tank, bigger, tanks, or fewer animals.

no i have 2 10's, but i figured mixing all the animals until my other 10 was repaired was a better idea than allowing the possibility of the top breaking out and glass falling all over them.
so really, i have 2 10's; one with a green tree frog and anole, and the other with a longtail, anole, and house gecko. Im actually going to give an anole away to a friend though, so it will be house gecko and longtail (which shouldnt be too big of a problem becuase the anole is usually up higher in the tank and the longtail is at the bottom) and the other will have the treefrog and anole.

There is a good picture on here of what happened when some one house their anole with their tree frog. the frog looks like he enjoyed the anole a lot, for dinner. I just dont think animals of different species should be housed together except possibly in very large vivs. This is just my opinion and my advice. If it works for you, ok.
