Finally, pictures

Alright, well, I finally got pictures from my camera, but they're a little old. Several plants have been added, and a couple removed, but it should give you an idea. It's a 75 gallon tank, with a false bottom for drainage, DIY background, running water feature, misting system (still installing that..), and 4 x 64W 6700K power compact flourescent lighting. I will hopefully have pictures of the current terrarium sometime next week. Questions, comments, pros, cons?

The only con I can see is that you need more macro pictures :)
Great Job!

RE: Finally, pictures

Nice! Is it strictly for plants or do you have any critters in there?
