I think you've gotten the creative bug there William! A very good 180 degree
turn on the idea.

This is a great idea. Want a low maintenance carpeted foreground? Or that Mt
effect in the middle?

Lizards, froggies, Chameleons or even a rat as the principle "actor"?

What about seasonal dragonflies?

One could certainly enjoy crypts/Anubias as emergent plants and also keep
them submersed in a nice looking set up.
