Okay, this is the final product now. The water has cleared a bit more since the video was taken but all of the plants are in. I might add some more and tweak it but for the most part, it is done.

A break down of the cost and materials used.
Peat moss, 2 bags- $10
GE silicone I, 2 tubes- $10
Organic potting soil-$4
Hickory bark hides, 3 sections- $6
Driftwood-$8
Stones for water fall, 12lbs- $15
Lava rocks- $3
Pea Gravel- $3
Bentonite clay (organic cat litter), egg crate, sphagnum moss, misc branches, weed barrier, pump, and tubing were all found around the house/ left over from my other vivarium builds. For the plants I simply used trimmings from this which you can see at the end of the video above:
and this:
Both of those tanks have grown in a LOT more since those photos were taken. All of them are in my living room- I do not have a TV so this is what I have to look at instead.
So for the whopping $69 dent this thing put in my wallet I can't complain. I will post more pictures when the adult eyelash goes in. It will be another few months before the babies are big enough for this enclosure unfortunately.
