Hey Julie,

When you say "wide" you mean deep, yeah?
That's a massive enclosure, you could do alot with that!
Question though, how will you have the front opening, ie glass sliders or what?
It will be fine having one of those little humidifiers, they don't throw off that much. I probably wouldn't go that one with the LED's in it, you can get them without. The lights would look a little alien in an enclosure, unless that's the look you were going for.
One problem though, is you need a waterfall with a reservoir that is deep enough to make it work, but not too deep that it doesn't work either! They work on little electrodes that pass a minute current between them, so depth of water is critical to how it operates. You will see what I mean when you get it.
Personally, if I was to have one, I would have it in a seperate little sealed set up, I would cover it to stop your Boyds from bathing in it as they love to bath in water. I have my waterfall reservoir covered in a fly screen, which is shaped to give them a depth to bath in of about 8cm deep, enough for them to fully submerge themselves, bot not too deep so they will drown. Mines pretty deep, about 30cm, I don't want to risk it!
Not sure if they can swim well.....anybody know?
Cheers
Scott
