wow that tank is amazing!! Um for what to do with it.....just throwing it out there, give it to me? lol kidding. When i feel i want a change in my tank i take my fish out and put them in a rubber maid move decor around a bit.

You have a lot of leafy and reed plants how about some fern types? Also you have a lot of wood how about creating some rock work somwhere? If i had the knowhow i would love to create like a stone bridge through my tank i made an arch out of wood and get really excited when a fish swims through lol

Here is what I would do:

1. Take that tall grassy stuff out of the front and maybe plant it behind the clump of Java Fern on the right.

2. Get rid of the big sword in there on the right side. The leaves are too big for that size of tank, making the tank look smaller.

3. Put a low-growing plant on the bottom. With just the sand there, the tank looks a bit too "clean", and some plants on the bottom will soften the look.

4. Maybe another piece of driftwood in there?

Other than that, it looks like a very nice tank.

The tank looks very nice & maybe you can add some Anubias & a few bottom feeders, like Corydoras.

thanks for the comments guys
Keep them comming

Just to say Natalie the reason why the sword is there is to hide the filter system behind it which is like a big black box. I cant think of any other way to hide it.

Also what sort of low growing plant could i put on the bottom?

looks great i agree the tall plant on the left needs to be moved, maybe so rockwork would be nice. as natalie said the ground looks "too clean". sprinkle some river rock around. as for the filter , i say put some drift wouod around it, and attach java moss, or java fern

Here is a link to a list of some foreground plants. The ones with the smallest leaves would probably look best in your tank.
