While my 55 will have plants in it eventually, my fuge is up and running. I am growing peace lilies in it but you could actually grow a number of aquarium plants that were partially submerged. The fuge enclosure has very high humidity and stays around 78F. I have heard of people growing crypts, swords and java moss and java fern like this. I have 5 pots of the lilies and they are powered by a 4' dual strip with one 6500K and one 5000K bulb. the light timer is 12 on 12 off. here are some pics and here is the link to my main thread that has all the details: http://www.aquariacentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39462

all the pics will be posted in that thread, all you plant guys let me know what you think!!!
