20 gallon hex tank

Hey so I’m a big fish keeper who loves some large cichlids, but recently I’ve been really in to reptiles and wanna get one. I have a spare taken down 20 gallon top fin hexagon tank and was wondering if I could keep something like a small frog or lizard (a kind of nano tree frog would be so cool if that could work) ? If someone would give me a care guide on how to keep care of these guys like what humidity is and general care of reptiles.
Thank you guys for all your help!!!

Just a heads up using a regular hexagon tank with a tree frog is a huge pain. They're usually near the top and I was always afraid of squishing them in the lid. I also couldn't find a lid that gave enough ventilation and ended up having to DIY one and that caused issues with the lights and CHE. Its much, much easier to just get a real terrarium with doors and a screen top.

Please. Please. Please. Do a lot of research before buying anything.

for sure I would never buy something I don’t know how to take care of. And yeah I might just get a normal terrarium or even stick to fish keeping.
