Definately getting there! Do you need the large Temp and Humidity gauge? If so, I would place it up against the back facing out the side, with a large piece of wood or plants in front to hide it (i.e. its only visible from the side). It kind of takes away from the experience. Or get individual mini meters which will fit in an upper corner.
The vines are really nice looking, will they branch out more? It would be cool if they covered like 60% of that wall.
Also, some nice twisted wood pieces leaning up against the back would look really nice.
Those are my suggestions, with an unlimited budget. I think it's looking really really nice though.

I dont need the large Temp and Humidity gauge. Its in there for temporary. Ill buy some small ones that i can put in the corner. Yes, the plant will branch out more. Yeah, not sure about the wood. I am looking for a very good peace of wood.
Which way looks better? (the plant thats in the middle, where dos it look beast at?) Pic #1, #2,#3, #4 or #5?
My mom and dad said i should sell it and then build another and another and keep selling them, like a business. But i really dont want to sell this set up lol. What do you guys, gals think i should do?

Im working on hiding the cord. That is a very pretty cactus. Its a christmas cactus, it has flowers at christmas time. So its going to stay. Check out some pics on line for the christmas cactus and youll see how pretty it looks. It DOES NOT have have any spikes at all.

The cactus is fine (not natural to environment, but without spikes, I guess its fine, but not sure) as for the plant, definitely the first pic (it will grow, and look really nice!). And I'm sure that the vines will eventually cover the cord. Can those plants get a good hold on the background? Seeing as how you used foam, they might just fall out as they grow. I might have missed something.
You are doing a great job! Can I also suggest ONE or TWO medium rocks, only because the stony stream looks weird with no other rocks in the "area".
EDIT: I actually like both one and three do you have another shoot to place at the side.

I missed the message at the bottom: I think you should keep the tank, it may not be hard to sell it, but think about how much you are spending to make it, and then ask yourself if you would pay that for a tank, or ask a friend. Most likely between the time you've spent on it, all the money you've put into it, and the sentimental value, you'll end up not being able to justify selling it.
Oh and I decided what kind of wood would look really nice! If you can get a piece of mangrove root system like this:
or this
or this
Put in some plants in cracks and such, it would work well.
you'd put this in the corner where the thermometer used to be, and it will balance the water feature.
