You have put allot of though into this build. I'd hurry and get them out of the box. How are those guys doing now?

I'd do away with the waterfall, and buy or make a nice raindome.

Also, will the bottom have substrate and planted?

That thing looks huge!!

Looks awsome with 5 sides glass or wood make sure you get enough ventalation

If you can find a bin or make a pvc tray that will fit and be about 10" deep. You can place a 2" layer of clay hydro balls, a screen divider and top the bin/tray off with a 80%/20% (Top Soil/Playsand) mix. If you drill holes in the bottom of the tray, whatever water gets through the soil will drain out into a bucket that you can empty.

You can get away with having a niceee side tree in there, something around 4 feet tall. Nice Hibiscus or Ficus. Something branchy. You can plant smaller plants towards the bottom also. Lighting will be an issue, but a nice dual 48" fixture with a 48" 6500k grow bulb in one and a 48" UVB in the other will do the trick.

If i don't/can't sell my cage, thats what i'm going to do.

Right now ı bought glass and hard blue styrofoam gonna start at weekend .I ll drill couple hole to blue styrofoam at the bottom and not gonna make waterfall instead
i ll make raining system and ı ll use plastic fence for ventalation and cpu fan for the lighting i ll not use grow bulb it is become expensive in long term you smust change the bulb in 6 motns using 6500k energy saver bulb already using them in my planted tank and they are very good.

And this one was my favorite planted tank
