What is the plant on the bottom right? it's pretty!
Its called a Croton. I really liked the color and it seems to be working well to give the cage some depth!

Hows your draing system work
Drain system is working well.

Basically I just drilled a hole to match the $12 sink drain setup from Home Depot. I used a heat gun to heat the center hole I cut and pressed the drain in to match the shape. This then just drains to the center of the cage and then into a bucket.

I will update with some pictures. However the cage itself leaks in the corners so I am going to make a stainless steel drain pan that will drain to the center.

Otherwise I get about 90% of the drain water down into the drain bucket.
