I got so frustrated with my first attempt I tore it down to make yet another terrarium. I'm back to having another go at this and didn't want to buy everything without making sure it would all work out. I'm determined to get this right!
I'm looking at a 60 x 30 x 30 open top tank.
A twin T8 luminaire. Too much light? Too little?
Eco complete planted substrate.
I'll probably go for one of the plant packages you can get. Something like this but I've seen much cheaper ones.

60cm U-Shape Layout Package | The Green Machine
Either a fert based c02 system or one of the other cheaper systems. One question I have with the fert based, how do I stop it at night, or can I?
One of the smaller Ehein external filters, maybe 2213.
Dosing with Tropica plant nutrition plus.
Does this sound good? Is there anything else I need? I'm on a budget hence the T8 over T5 and the fert based co2.
