A little backround:

I've been getting a lot of help from everyone over at the planted forums, and I'd like to show everyone the progress. Note the giant water sprite, CO2 reactor and the algea....

That looks great.
It must make the neons feel secure if they're so far away from each other despite the two angelfishes.

Thank you Corydoran and Little Caeser (is that pizza BTW?). It's still dangerously far from winning any prizes around this place though. Corydoran, my angels have never cared for my tetras, they tend to go after my ottos for some reason.

I was actually hoping for some constructive crits, if anybody cares to.

I agree. Great tank. As for suggestions...well, I'm not really a big fan of that piece of driftwood on the right. I would suggest moving your foreground plants in front of it--leaving a gap in the middle(The biggest should be closest to the side of the tank. Also, I'd move the brown wendetii out to the foreground as well...The vals in the back would look nice bunched up to one side (well, not bunched up, but at least in a line to one side).

EDIT: BTW, is that a lancelot's anubias in the far right? If so, it'd be better off tied to something.

I agree that my vals should be grouped together a little more. The driftwood over on the right is actually rock, it's just got a natural look to it, which is why I like it. I was hoping that my green wendtii in front would spread over in that direction, actually I wanted it to take over most of the front portion of the tank and have it look like a nice fluffy bed of wendtii, but I've had to trim a lot back because of the algea. Unfortunately with this tank, there isn't a whole lot of middle ground(only a foot front to back), so I might be able to bring the brown wendtii up a little, along with the sword, but I think both would look goofy up in the front because they are pretty tall. Good suggestions Cup, I was going to use my day off tomorrow to add some more CO2 and maybe move some of the plants into their final spots...because I really shouldn't be moving them anymore.
