Impressive set up. What did you do for lighting, filtration, etc.?

Lighting basically consists of a 20w flourescent tube on the left, and 2 25w incandescent aquarium type bulbs(they throw off a little heat)on the right. Filtration is done by the waterfall, substrate, and a fluval level 1 filter(50gal/hr)

looks great but I think you need more lights for your plants also how powerfull is the filter because the water is not clear

Kudos to you.. I love naturalistic enclosures and have always admired the really well done ones that were so well planted. Great job.

Do you have some sort of automatic mist system or just water by hand when needed?

I have a waterfall feature, and I just got a hand mister. I mist it once in the morning, and once in the evening. Thanks for your comments!
