Broms are good to put in with them, as long as they are really secure where you plant them. Dracaena is great, resembles a brom, and will stand up to the trampling. It can get big, so you'll be able to transplant a nice larger plant when you build the permanent enclosure.
I can never remember the name of one of my favorite plants... I have a ton of them in my CWD tank, in all different varieties. dang it... any time want to mention it, I forget what it's called, lol...
Pothos is ok until the get older, and even then if they never nibble plants (if you see a nibble on anything, you might want to take pothos out, it is high in oxolates).
I think live moss on the substrate is a great idea. I have a few different kinds in my tank, and I like it MUCH better than bare substrate. His water stays cleaner and the humidity is higher.

looks good just one thing I may say. If you put a piece of egg crate vertically along the glass with a piece wax paper behind then spray with foam it allows you to remove the fake background for cleaning and saves the glass instead of putting it right on the glass which makes for bacteria build up in air pockets against the glass. Just a personal prefrence though. oh and dont forget to take that bong out of your tank

ROFLMAO!
Viva la viv, thanks for the suggestion about wax paper to make removal easier--I'm going to be making a note of that one for this summer when I start my first project of this nature!!
Golly gee, I just LOVE this forum! |

Golly gee, I just LOVE this forum too... lmao...
viva la vive, that's a great suggestion! I do drop-in's myself for the most part, but I never thought to do it that way. To take it a step further, you could stick some wax paper to the entire tank with spray adhesive (perhaps the repositional type), and then do all of your GS, let it cure, pull it out to cover it, then put it back in. That would make for furniture and BGs that you could easily remove and reuse. Great idea!
