This looks like a very healthy ecosystem. You seem to have had this setup for at least a year. Did you have to take it apart for cleaning?

There is no cleaning and taking things apart. The only thing I clean is the glass. Sometimes I'll remove dead leaf or trim a plant but that's it. 95% of the time, If a leaf drops, it decomposes and that's it. Soil has a ton of tiny decomposers, few earthworms. Water is filtered 24/7 via a canister filter located below the tank. Partial water changes are done daily. Misting System sprays RO water into it and a timed pump, removes a bit of water everyday to maintain a water level. It's a self sustaining eco system...well somewhat  I provide, lights, water, etc and food for the frogs, the rest just happens
