Hi
Welcome to SW.

Your enclosure looks great.

Do you have Limestone flour and Nutrobal on your shopping list?.

Do you know what spieces you are going to get yet?

Also now is a good time to get some weed seeds, so that you can start
sowing them soon.

Cuttlefish bones are usually just kept in the enclosures in case the tortoise wants a calcium boost at his/her own leisure and don't contain the vitamins nutrabol does. Nutrabol is a supplement sprinkled onto food (everyday/every other day/2-3 times a week, depending on what you read and what size your tortoise is), so you can use it along side the cuttlefish (seeing as this will probably just lay around in the enclosure, whereas you actively sprinkle the nutrabol onto the food)
