It would certainly be easier to answer "What did you already know" before you started this. Nothing.
This list will inevitably be incomplete but here goes:
And probably another 1000 things.
Hey man! Go for it! Spring tails are little bugs that take care of all the dirty work involved in ridding your vivarium of decaying matter. I had the misfortune of loosing a frog while on vacation and when I returned they had reduced him to nothing by but a few bones. Little decomposers like springtails are often referred to as micro fauna and are essential. Here's a link to NEHERP's micro fauna store. I buy everything I can from NEHERP because frankly they're the best in the business when it comes to vivariums.
As for the water, yes the water free flows through the entirety of the bottom of the tank. Hydro balls just the Zoomed brand of hydroponic balls and they're dirt cheap.
I don't have a parts list on hand but I guess I should make one eh?
I can say that this light has been the best light I've ever used. And for an HO (high output) 4 tube grow light it's also dirt cheap. I simply spray painted mine matte black.
As far as pumps FLUVAL, FLUVAL, FLUVAL all the way. You just can't beat their canister filters. And you can load anything you want in them making water treatment super easy.
I'm happy to answer questions so if ya have any more feel free to ask. And if any of you out there want more answers feel free to comment. And maybe give an upvote so others can find it too.

That's a pretty neat.
Do you currently have a terrarium, and if so, how much light does it get? My only concern is that type of grass probably likes full sun, so it may need to be by a bright window and/or supplemental lighting to be happy. This can easily roast plants however (especially in smaller closed containers), so make sure it is ventilated or doesn't get too hot.
If you want to know specifically how to set up a terrarium, its pretty easy.
You don't need any fertilizer, and I like using a dose of Superthrive if it looks like my plants are struggling.
You could also grow the sod in a container within a larger terrarium if you only have a little bit. If you want a baseball theme, you have plenty of creative options (like using a cubs helmet as a container, etc.).
I got these 1 gallon glass jars from Amazon for fermentation but you could totally use them for a terrarium. 4 for $30 seemed like a pretty good price to me. That is, if you think you could use 4 of them. The lids are plastic so they won't be as pretty as a glass top, though.

open container like a fish bowl or a dish?
Moss: Useful for ground cover and if you are going for a woodland look, definitely add moss such as
Alternatively, you can use
These provide good ground cover with more texture and faster spread (about 30 cm in 30 days with the right conditions)
Where to get them? Ebay, Amazon etc.
Ferns: Also great additions!
Colour: Some people prefer to add some colour using plants like:

I bought my moss from Amazon. I was worried about the Arizona heat during shipping, but it came quick and very green and lush.
Lowe's doesn't know terrariums. What they are good for is the dried Sphagnum Moss, rocks, and other accoutrement you'll need for making a terrarium.

Is the seller I used. The thing I was really stoked about is that they don't use pesticides. So in my terrarium, I actually have live bugs and at least 2 earth worms in mine. Also, there is some kind of plant growing in my moss. Must've been some seed that dropped on it, but it's really awesome that I got it for "free".

This is when it first sprouted, but it's huge now. I'll get a picture later if anyone wants it. I'd also like to know what the heck it is.
The moisture seems to do alright spreading without the fan. I don't think you would necessarily need it. I use it to increase air flow in order to prevent algae from taking over the tops of the soil on my plants in there and possible mold.
You might want to ask more about lighting from r/mosses since they're better equipped to discuss moss needs than I am. I know that my moss has been fine with this (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07LG39B3M?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title) placed about 10 inches from the moss and turned on for 10 hours a day. But, I have no clue if that's optimal, I just know it works for me.
I bought them at a local store here in Belgium, but these look exactly the same:

Hey thank you! You're exactly right-- I chose Sylvania Light Flutes because they were easy to install and pretty cheap. Our area is an embarrassment of riches when it comes to terrarium fodder, so good luck out there!
I use one of these
https://www.amazon.com/Nalgene-2407-1000-Wide-Mouth-Bottle-1000mL/dp/B00RZQ8PWC/
with the tip cut off and a bit of irrigation hose attached. This allows me great control when watering small plants or succulents. It also works great for terreriums that have plants you don't want to get the leaves wet.

Thought someone might find this useful! Happy growing.
Got the glass vase from Ross. The lid was from a scented candle that happen to fit the vase perfectly. The light is from Amazon. It’s rechargeable via usb.
