Bump for updates!
 
As of today this is were I'm at. I'm making "MOSS PASTE" today to paint onto the rock wall so in about 2-3 weeks I'll have moss all over the place. Also I have more plants that need relocated from my 30g terrarium into this tank. Come Wed I'll have the new lighting and everyone gets moved into the tank.

Here is were I'm at now. I could use some input on lighting. I want to do some sort of LED lighting for the aquatic area to improve the growth and visibility of the aquatic plants. I'd like to figure out a way to mount the lighting behind the cross member just below the screen on the inside of the tank but thus far I cant find anything that would fit my needs in the way of an LED waterproof light bar. If anyone has any other ideas please hit me up I've got fish coming in on Tuesday and I'd like to have the aquatic plant life thriving not barely holding on.

Very nice! Anything residing in the water section?
 
The aqautic residents get here on Tuesday, a green terror, blood parrot, and African butterfly. I originally wanted a ornate bichir and blue crayfish as well but no LFS can get the bichir and I already have a large bamboo shrimp who will be moving in soon and I think one bottom dwelling crustation is enough. I also had toyed with archers but do to there brachish needs and size I avoided them. I can always fill in with smaller brightly colored tetra or something.
