Ideas for my RETF viv

I was hoping to get ideas for this project. There is a very small planter near the bottom and a larger one near the top. I would like something that hangs like a fern in the top planter and I was thinking of a dwarf palm in the botom.

Have you planned for lighting? Many plants require quite a bit.

I have a two bulb fixture that I plan on laying on top of the glass section. I have not picked out the bulbs that I will put in it yet.

I am the last person to help you with this , but I will try ,, I'm going to assume you understand that the frogs use the plants to hide during the day.

I would go with a broad leaf plant like pothos or a philodendron, both are easy and do well in a viv. I would also consider some Alocasia if handy, They all have the big heart shaped leaves around here in Florida. I would also use some creeping fig (Ficus pumila) or Peperomia for filler.
