Looks great. When you put the hood on it sealed the deal.

Hi very nice looking tank very natural Now to your original question. I feel that it needs a taller single plant at the back left hand side - this is because your eye follows the wood upwards but then comes to an abrupt end and needs balance with a taller plant on that side to bring your eye back down towards the substrate - does that all makes sense

That looks great! I like the natural look too, so I'm slowly (not really slowly) replacing decorations and fake plants with driftwood and live. The patience part really makes me lose my patience! LOL! Great tank!

There is a tiger lotus behind the java ferns I can let grow upwards. I have some vals but I ripped them out because my snails kept chewing though the leaves and making a mess. :/

Thanks again
The substrate wasn't planned. I originally went dirt with gravel cap but the gaps between the gravel were letting dirt particles up so I dumped a whole heap of play sand in.

Just so you know that Shark is going to get really aggresive as he matures. But you probably know that

I know. He's 3.5-4 inches already and a terror. I've nearly rehomed him a couple of times. He's behaving, for now.
