I am not sure what i should do with it.

Maybe you can add a piece of Driftwood & more Rocks & if you have enough light, add some more plants.

That large center rock looks completly wrong in that location and possibly that tank. The focal point is desirable to be 1/3 in from the left hand end and 1/3 from the front. This will give the eye something to move to gradually and have a pleasing effect. You certainly want drift wood, rocks whith character, and lots of plants of differnt leaf shapes yet all green. Is the back painted? if not a flat black would lift the tank.

For plants you would require suitable lighting and a depth of 3ins of a good 2-3mmm substrate.

With the plants no more than 5 varieties if too many it can become like a garden salad.

You can PM your E/m if you would like more detailed infomation

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

mrwizerd,

For me the question should be more like:

What do you want to do with it?

I know nothing about your lights, ferts (if any), and plant visions. Are you thinking about a nice planted tank, just a small design change, little to mo money invested, and so forth.

I would say: express your vision and I (we) will help you to get there as much as possible.

Hope this helps,

Ingo

Well I want it to be a nice planted tank. The bulb is a 17w T8 and these plants all seem to be doing well. I dont know what the back plant is. Normally the back would be painted but it has a fake scenery back there I bought this tank before I knew about painting them. The other plants are

2 Crypt Wendii Tropica
1 Red Crypt Wendii
1 Mellon Sword
Broad Leafed Lewdwiga
2 Dwarf Onion Plants
3 Plants that look like anubis maybe I think, cant remember
1 Brazilian Sword i think it is, which is a tererium plant but its doing very well in there.

As you can see them in the pictuers.

I dont really have a real vision I lack it. I just found a place with driftwood. I dont know where in the tank i would put it. I plan to build a new hood for it to add light but for now the low light level is what i have. Everything seems to be growing well.

I am dosing with flourish every so often I dont have a lot of plants so it causes algae blooms on occasion so I cant keep things perfect till i get a FE test. I just want a very nice planted tank. I have several mosses some that may be fisidens moss but not sure that i would like to gfet in there but I am unsure as the direction i am going so I am a little stuck.
