You can see larger versions of these pics here on flickr.
 
The driftwood is really nice. The sword will get a lot bigger you will probably end up switching it out once it starts taking a good hold.
 
looks good. what else are you planning?

I have a couple more java ferns on the way as well as a bit more Pelia that I plan to work in and around the center piece of driftwood.

I've been asking around for some smaller rocks-- figure I'll play with the design a bit.

I'd like to have Red Cherry Shrimp along with some non-aggressive small fish.
 
Nice start.A shoal of small tetra's will look good.Is that one of them red sea venturi pumps in there?

It's the Red Sea CO2 bio kit.

I was going to go DIY but I thought the 2-liter bottle was ugly so picked that up. So far, so good.

I got my black background on today after a quick trip to a local art store. More plants coming tomorrow.. then I'll update pics.
 
Yeah i have one also worked good for me. i used on my 45 and 90
 
I've been using that kit since day 1 so it's hard for me to say what my progress would have been like without it. All the plants have been very healthy - especially the Java Ferns which have been reproducing like rabbits.
 
It's relatively cheap, clean, and easy to use - I'd say give it a shot if you're running a <40g tank.
 
agreed. if you are lookin for some tips i would add some foreground plants (groundcover)

I've been trying to find a good plant for that. I was hoping the Pelia I got would take off and that I'd be able to use it in that way but I'm finding it is a very slow grower.

My tank is low-light - what would work best for ground cover that won't cost me a fortune?
