    Oh I forgot to add! Since you are adding live plants make sure you use a good plant light. Leave it on for a 12hour cycle. During the day they soak up the sun doing their photosynthesis; but at night time they relax and release H2O on their leaves(why do you think the lawn is wet at night? :P)Just make sure that the plants dont grow overly huge(by roots I mean). You dont want them to not be able to grow more. I was taught that after a long time(takes like 5 years or so I think for the roots to get that big. Depends on plant) the roots will eventually out grow any enclosure(rootwise). If the roots are not allowed to grow they will die. Just food for thought. But if you get small plants itd take a mighty long time for this to even happen. :P
