Determine your desired water depth then get a piece of glass cut and attach it with silicone to make a barrier between the water area and the land area.

Very helpful, thanks.
I figured this is what I would do. But are there any other ways?
That's pretty much the easiest and best way to do it. Piling up gravel and putting a layer of substrate on top isn't ideal and will cost much more than going the glass route.
Glass seems to be the best option for now. The other way i was looking at doing it was using artificial rock (same material as 3D backgrounds) and sticking it to the side or back of the tank so it would look mote natural and be elevated so theres more water area to access.
Does anyone know good websites or where I can buy some articial rocks, driftwood, etc. from? I know designs by nature sells them, but thats it.

Predatory fishes eat quite a few things. It has been mentioned on numerous occasions, and on numerous worthy articles that newts and salamanders require cold temperatures. Do you really want to cool your stingray or arowana down into 20 degree celsius water!?
Furthermore, the footprint is one thing, what are you going to do by putting a stingray in a water volume in which it may barely move vertically, much less an arowana.
The options you are putting forth are ridiculous. Patriot crab/pacman frog is a matter of who gets who first. To put mix two species of reptiles or two species of amphibians already gets pretty crazy. Do your research.

Doing research along with looking for help and opinions. And I never said I wanted everything together, just that i wanted at least a couple of those. Just looking for a little help, dont need your comments if they arent helpful. Thanks.
In reference to you wanting a ray. I've had my 10" disc male motoro living with a 26" amphiuma salamander, granted these are fully aquatic salamanders and my particular salamander does not like the taste of fish, won't even eat chunks of fish cut into small pieces. I have however heard of other amphiuma going after fish and taking chunks out of them so it really depends on individual personality for if something like that could work.
