    @MarcVanJ I have one question here:

    What LED's did you use and also where did you source them from?

    So have you figured out the filter and the heater element as yet or you still working on this?

    I would go with small plants, hairgrass, mosses, ferns, some rocks and some driftwood, but only if you can find the right size and if it will fit in and complement the scape.
