 Empty 55 gallon...what to put in it...

Ok so i was wanting to set up my spare 55 gallon with kind of an ecosystem... dont care what area they are from... id like to have live plants and stuff in there too... i know you shouldnt really mix species most of the time... but i was hoping there was at least a particular species i could keep that has very different looking members... like centipedes or osmethin... lol...

i set up an ecosystem every summer in a 20 gallon cage i put all native plants and animals in it and b4 winter i let the main things go like lizards and let it sit in the winter and when summer comes back the plants come back ive has the same thing going for 3 years now and each year the cage has on main creature(lizard,frog,snake) that are local along with a variety of insects and spider...so id say the best thing to do, get local things that already live together and u wont half to worry about mixing species that may carry totally different disease sence they r from the same area.
