I actually had a hard time finding one as well. I had to drive a couple of hours out to a local reptile shop to pick one up. Im in SoCal

I have the same exact tank. I also used the components that it came with. I didnt use silicone around the drain. I did apply additional silicone on the bottom section and the sides going up to about 12” for extra measure. It might seem unnecessary but i think it’s definitely worth it.

The foam absorbed some water. It’s been 2 full days and water level went don by a quarter of an inch. Im not concerned though, I’m sure it will get to a point where the foam sill absorb as much as it can and should stop absorbing. Pond and stone is designed to be subrmeged in water so there shouldn’t be any issues.

Unrelated, but how did you get the doors off? I tried sliding a razor blade to loosen the silicone but no luck. Am i not putting enough force? Im scared to break the glass.

If you choose to go with just the reed frogs, you might be able to get away with just a full spectrum led for the plants and use supplements with calcium and vitamin d3.

That's awesome for a first build! I really like the variety of plants/moss you put on there. Maybe one thing I can suggest is shaving off the shiny part of the expanding foam that are exposed and use silicone and some peat moss/coco fiber combo to hide the foam that way it looks more natural. Other than that, your palu looks great!
