For keeping optimal? Yes. I'm also keeping the most hardy things that can take the stress of the salinity changes, lack of timely waterchangeouts and no feeding when I go away or get overly busy. I have been tempted to get more challenging stuff but I just can't yet. For the cool stuff you need to do feedings (targeted sometimes) and if you add fish to the mix it is all the more work. I do have one fish in another tank and he requires pretty much daily attention. One thing about the reef tanks is the cost.. initial cost is insane (just shop for lights some day and see O.o) Upkeep isn't terribly bad cost wise however.
The frogs sound cool! I imagine it is much harder to find a frog-sitter than someone to dog-sit for you. :)
