My Miniature Greenhouse (Experimental)

It wasn't until recently I had an idea to convert one of my old fish tank into a miniature green house. For the top to keep in the humidity I thought of cutting up some large plastic that I had laying around to the size of the opening of the tank. Few holes poked in for ventilation. However, it didn't really work as well as saran wrap (plastic/clear wrap) does. For the light fixture I use a 15 watt 18 inch grow light. I feel it isn't strong enough to bring the heat into the tank, but I'm not going to try and make the satisfy the seeds so much as long as there's still sun during the day to keep them warm enough and bring in plenty of light and humidity.

Here are the seeds I'll be experimenting within this mini greenhouse:
