My 20g apisto planted community!!!

Today i am planning on running by the LFS store today to get some hornwort and also I am going to look for some flower pots because apistos are cave spawners. I think I am going to call around to other fish stores to see if they have apisots in stock so I dont have to ordr on line and pay shipping.
 
Bad news

I woke up this morning and my heater is not working anymore. I dont know why, I might have jostled it around too much when I was putting it in the tank, but I dont think I did though. This stinks because its going to cost me another 30 $ if I can fix it. Any ideas?

Oh no on the heater! It's just not heating anymore?
 
Was it a heater that wasnt fully submersible?
thats what it said on the package, but its alright because i am going to petco tonight and they have a sale on aquarium heaters so ill get a 100 watt fully submersible. It just stinks after spending money on a new substrate
 
Is the heater still under warranty?
 
While I was at home depot today i figured i would look for compact fluorescent lighting and i found some. I bought a 24 in. double ballast lighting system. It will hold two compact fluorescents, so bought two 20 watt bulbs for it and that will give me 2 watts per gallon. My ceiling is slanted down where my aquarium stands so i will put it right on the ceiling over my aquarium (see pictures). I am gald i found this because it sure beats having to pay 65$ for one at my LFS. I also bought some 3 in. clay pots for the apistos while i was at home depot as well.
