I have a 28 gal. exo terra tall vivarium that I want filled. It has a tropical/semi tropical setup and can and will be modified and changed if it seems fit. I have sphagnum moss and jade and some weed from my yard that I am unsure of. There is a water feature with a waterfall and an upper area with a hide. Criticize and comment as much as you want. I have had reptiles/amphibians for almost a year now and am feeling confident in my skills.

This is an overview of the tank. Not very good. all pics were taken in the middle of the night.

Right side. Here you can see some of my wood and the big jade I have in there. also in the corner by the succulent with pointy leaves are the little weeds I found in my yard.

Left side. Here you can see small jade cuttings and sphagnum moss in the corner of the tank. High up is a little hide I made out of a hollowed out jade trunk. It dries out and shrivels up a little after it is first made but works great.

This is the soon to be water section. When setting this up I completely forgot to cover up the waterfall with rocks but when I realized I just left it. It looks rather ugly now but when it has water in it I think it won't look so bad. there are little stones at the bottom of the waterfall to stimulate what would actually be at the bottom of a waterfall. I plan on putting in aquatic plants but am unsure what to put in. This is a new field to me and I was hoping you guys could help me on that. water level will be in between 4.5 and 5.5 inches.

I was wondering what you think could go in here. Whether it be plant or creature, it does not matter. I wish to have a new creature/s added to my collection and am wanting something that might climb but is also aquatic. Thank you.
