Building my first vivarium out of a 55g tank, nothing fancy atleast not for my first build, and no where near finished with decor and what not. However was looking for some advice with plants/moss, as to what to purchase for different types of plants. I would like to house a small group of darts (depending on availability from my lps), and if all else fails will be home to a small group of fire-bellies. Also the tank is in my basement, so with winter temps, nights can get down to around 55degrees, and during the day usually around 60-65 which makes heating my next issue. I know once I get the water temp up to around 74-78 it will help a bit, but having some difficulty heating the rest....any advice is appreciated. Posted a photo to show what I'm working with, and as I said nothing fancy as I just tried to keep it decently simple, I may try to get a little more involved with my 30g build next - specially the more I read up on different builds.
