What lives in the vivs?
A single crested gecko in each.
The tank on the right is 95% bioactive, with the exception of two fake suction cup plants on the side panels (which will be removed once the real plants fill in). Traded some random new age pokemon cards worth maybe $20 for that gecko.
The tank on the left is in the process of being replaced with a bioactive, as well. I'm actually in the midst of that as we speak. Haha
That one was $30, with the tank included, which was the primary reason I got it (as it's an 18x18x24 enclosure, as opposed to the current 12x12x18).
They're super cool nocturnal animals and are insanely easy to keep (and adults require no insects). I was going for a yin & yang type vibe for the overall stand... Sea life and island life living and existing side by side.

My sister has a tiny crested gecko and is working towards what you have set up. She’s having a hard time getting her plants to thrive, I think her light is too powerful or too close. What kind of light do you have on the larger gecko tank?A single crested gecko in each.

I'm using the normal pc hood (which I gutted and removed the reflectors from) with two Jungle Dawn led bulbs.
