new 20 gallon

[raymondsmindjob]

I am new to building paludariums and this is my first attempt.
Used a 20 gallon high aquarium.
Made my land area/walls out of styrofoam and drylock paint. Waterfall is powered by a small aquarium systems adjustable pump.
Substrate is a thick layer of Flourite with a very thin layer of green aquarium gravel on the top for more color. Topped it off w/ green and white aquarium crystals.
Also I will be adding some driftwood to make a bridge type of thing with water access in case I want to add an amphibian later.
Take a look at it and tell me what you think.

No plants yet, I am cycling the water for 30 days before I add any. Was going to add some dwarf baby tears and ferns to land area. Any suggestions on a fern that will grow well with the roots completely submerged? In the water area I have some sacred water lotus seeds I will plant one in the center of the tank in front of the waterfall, but I am looking for suggestions on what else to plant in the water area?
