Default 10 gallon vert re-do

Well, recently one of my rescues passed away. The 10 gallon she was in was just sitting there doing nothing. So, I am now redoing it. Technically, this could be called a palu, but since its vertical, ill call it a terrarium. Lol. I have divided the bottom into a half land, half water portion. To hide the glassed used to divide it, I silicones slate pieces and rocks to the side and top edge of the divider. The background is already done for the most part, but is done with GS, silicone, and cocofiber. The water area probably wont have a pump or anything unless I can find a very compact, low flow idea. it'll also house a male double fin betta. The land side wont house anything until the plants grow in, if at all. I would be open to suggestions for a land inhabitant though.

I have pretty much finished the tank and am getting the water all set up for the betta. this really went kinda quick considering all that is done. One thing that I think will really help the plants in the BG is that when I GSed the post in, I also put plastic tubing in to allow the water to escape the pots instead of leaving it stagnant. The plants will be allowed to grow in before I even consider putting a land resident in. The betta will be just fine in his portion while that happens.
