i meant some rocks or more wood to break up the back from the front and add some depth.

Tank looks great as is, but as already mentioned, a couple of strategically placed rocks and or red plants would make it even better. Give it a shot, if you don't like the result, just take it out. Thats the beauty of this hobby, you can change it up as much as you have time and energy. If you keep at it, you'll get it just how you want it. Have fun!

Heres an update.........

I tried lots of hardscape combinations, but ended up going with a few red plants.

The left side looks a tad empty, but im attempting to grow a batch of scarlet ludwigia. I moved the ambulia to center back. Its a nice background plant.

Thanks for all the compliments. I had a disaster the other day. I was away for 2 days, and my co2 bottle ran out. I suspect it ran out as I left my house. When I got home my plants were looking poorly. Holes in leaves everywhere! Heartbreaking..... Also slowed up the scarlet ludwigia considerably.

I recently added 6 discus and took out my angels. 2 red turquoise, 2 red dragons, 1 blue diamond and 1 blood pigeon. Also 8 congo tetras. The congos are awesome!

In the below pics, you can see the holes in my scarlet ludwigia

I'm not sure that no CO2 for two days would do that sort of damage to your plants. I'd be looking for another culprit. I could be wrong though.
Tank is looking great btw
