Nice! Tank is looking great! How much was the brc and can you get a close up pic of it? Later, you should add more plants and I love that dw btw. :D

Thanks. I think cost like 6 bucks from my LFS.

I think I may add more but I'm trying to see how well I can keep them.

Nice looking! And not too expensive too. :D
I'm sure you will do great with the plants you have right now. They are easy for the most part.
Also, the anubias will grow and do a lot better if tied to the dw or a ridged rock. It's roots like to grasp onto it and just hold on rather than sitting in the substrate.

Thanks for the advice on the anubias.

Might also change my substrate in the near future to sand of some sort.
 
No prob. Many plant beginners make that mistake. :)
Sand looks a lot better ( IMO ) and is also a lot easier to clean.

Yeah I like it a lot to. Just don't want to upset the chemistry in the tank right now. Want the Rams to settle and adjust before I upset it again.
