Thanks!
Right now I am using a 2 bulb 36w t5ho 6500k light, but hopefully soon I will be upgrading to a 4 bulb fixture.
I will be cutting back the vanilla and using the cuttings to grow more in my house.
Funny you should mention pill bugs (isopods). I have my tank seeded with 3 species! Pill bugs are actually used in many tanks because they eat mold and if they have enough to eat, they will leave your plants alone completely. I suppose it depends what species have infested your tank. Mine boomed at first, but died off largely and have now reached an equilibrium in the tank. I have dwarf greys, dwarf whites and spanish giant orange isopods in my tank. I also have 2 species of springtails in my tank, which also help clean things up and have no negative effect.
I bought my driftwood stump from thedriftwoodstore.com. It's some kind of SUPER dense wood. It weighs a lot!
