I think it's actually only a 15 gal tall, not sure, our tank maker doesn't always label things by the gallon. It looks a lot bigger than it is thanks to the angle and how small the frog is right now. It's a CB baby aussie, and only a little over an inch right now 
My local fish shop somehow manages to always have at least one archerfish in stock. They have a lot of really cool stuff, actually.
I've seen some really cool archerfish setups on the TV, but don't the archerfish get kind of big? 20 gallons seems small. Maybe it's just been that long since I've been there!
And I agree, the brackish water would be an absolute pain. I just have a little freshwater tank with an angelfish in it, can't imagine the work that goes into a well maintained tank with any sort of salt in it!
Thanks! It's a ton of fun setting these things up. The kingsnake has been the most fun so far - she is extremely interactive and exhibits a lot of behaviors (basking, hunting, etc) that I like to think these kingsnakes will do in the wild.
And a side note - she's an albino, and when I had a UV light on the tank for the live plants in there at first, I never saw her. She spent all day hiding and only came out after all the lights were out. Took off the UV, and it was like having a totally different snake.
