Default 120 gallon vivarium ideas

Hey everyone,


I currently have a 120 gallon tank(48"L 24"H 24"W) that is housing 2 leopard geckos. For the leopard gecko's I attempted to make a custom background out of Styrofoam and great stuff, but that didn't work out too well. Everything warped so it didn't fit in the tank well and cleaning is a very big chore. Also the leopard gecko's don't use all that space very much so I have decided I will be taking them out of this tank.

Now I'm not really sure what I should put in the tank when the geckos come out, so hopefully you guys will be able to give me some good suggestions!

What I am thinking of is turning it into a tropical rainforest planted vivarium. I would like to have something in the tank that is active during the day and just interesting and nice to look at. I would also like to have a small water feature in the vivarium if possible.But I can be persuaded into pretty much any sort of vivarium type.

Some things to know:
Tank is currently in my room.
In the winter my room is usually around 70-75F in the day maybe a bit hotter. At night I have an air conditioner that is set to 70F so at night my room is about that temperature maybe a little cooler.
In the summer my room can get quite hot on the cooler summer days it is around 78-80F but can be 85F+ on the hotter days. So anything I put in the tank would have to be able to handle these temperatures.

I think that's about it. I'm pretty open to suggestions on what to put in the tank.
