G'day from Australia, mate I would seriously reconsider the drainage holes for your pot. It is to my understanding that not too many species will enjoy not having adequate drainage.

Ficus can deal with wet feet very well, as long as they re used to it. Grew a ficus to 3m tall in 2 years in my office by having it sit in a tray with water & nutrients

I take pictures all the time of my trees, day and night. My neighbors think I'm crazy already. Their garage is probably the most photographed garage in the state. haha
