75 Gallon Vivarium build

We all need to rant and let off some steam every once in awhile, and if we aren't cursing or offending anyone then I say let it out. And I was following a couple builds besides yours when you first started this one and it was someone else that had frog vs pleco incident so I'm sorry for that. The other person put a pleco in his water area to help keep it clean and his frog tried to eat it, obviously it didn't end well. Got a little confused between his build Bills builds and yours. and out of all honesty I have always liked this one and followed because it was different from the common rainforest setup, its like a piece of forest from your back yard. I cant tell from the new pictures but did you end up takeing out the garden lights? I thought it was such a neat idea you put those in there. And again it looks really good man.

I can easily bring them back lol, it was a great idea and it would attract the Wax Moths along with other nocturnal insects. Yeah, I never had big fish in here. Spot has eaten goldfish before. As I am moving the last pieces in and out of the enclosure I will get a light or 2. That's the best part of this build, it's something I haven't seen someone go all in on, usually they try for the warm months, but I'm attempting perennials all year with native insects, plants, and Amphibs so it's a scientific discovery along with great results in the end. So the final plants I have settled on and I do mean final species going into this fall and winter are:
Periwinkle
Pachysandra
Autumn Brilliance Fern
Japanese Fern (Small)
Dragon's Tail Ferns
One Iris in the water
And one that possibly will show up:
Glow in the dark Mushrooms
I know they are not local but it could push this tank over the top. Only concern is I have a big species of herps, so they may smash them. This is my line up of contenders for an all year run with perennials. The lights will come back thanks to Monster!
