Default my 2nd attempt at a viv

Well, to begin with, i want to thank everyone on this forum for all the help and ideas prior to my build. I did extensive research prior to this build because i felt i rushed through my first and wasn't as happy with the outcome as i had hoped. So, with that being said, i hope you will give me some feedback on my construction of this attempt.

my zoomed 18x18x24 with driftwood.
egg crate 2.jpg
I did the false bottom and framework for background with eggcrate. i also used plastic dixie cup for plant potters.
coco fiber covered1.jpg
I covered the egg crate with g/s foam and then carved it to my liking. Then i mixed spagnhum moss and coco fiber and attached to the background with silicone.

I then plantted it after the fumes resided." brom, suculent, dracenena, ivy".
I made the interior fan that i picked up from one of the forums on here.(sorry, can't remember who originally posted it" but thank you.
I added the zoo med reptifogger."love,love,love it"
I am using the exo terra 18" hood with (1) 6500 13v cf daylight bulb, and (1) zoo med cf ultra sun bulb.
i build the stand from scatch. left over material from some of my side work.

Here you can see the waterfall that runs down the driftwood.

Well, that what i have so far. Let me know what you think.
