2" top soil covered by ~1cm coco fiber
1" mulched peat moss

Plants used:
Maidenhair Fern (Adiantum pedatum)
Golden Pothos (Epipremnum aureum)
Arabian Jasmine (Jasminum sambac)
Weeping Fig (Ficus benjamina)
Money Tree (Pachira aquatica)

Please let me know what you all think.

Lush and gorgeous!!! What critters will you be putting in there? I love the look of the money tree-it looks so exotic. I just bought one today! The leaf litter on the bottom gives a very nice realistic touch!

Thanks for the kind comments.
I'm going to be putting my pair of satanic leaf-tails (U. phantasticus) in there.
I wasn't too sure on the money tree when I first picked it up because it was all braided up. My advice is to un-braid it. That way you can make yourself a nice little forest out of the individual stems.

those are really cool looking geckos! I had never heard of them so I looked it up. I bet they'll LOVE that tank, they'll blend in really well.
