If you wanted to make a natural look, you could find some (real) rocks and make some sort of rock structures in there. Note: From what i can see it gets lots of light from the window (yes, no?) This may cause lots of algae growth. When you are coming up with a stock list, you might want some algae eating fish. (Just a thought) Nice Job! †Aquapickle†

You might also consider covering the back glass in some manner. You can put some darker craft paper over it, paint it or purchase one of the backgrounds available from your LFS. This will help to cover your filters, power cords, etc. Just makes a tank look better. Jim Water, taken in moderation, cannot hurt anybody. -- Mark Twain

I got a colored background that complements with my plants, or you can just get a black one. You could be creative and make one your own.
