Aquarium Advice FINatic
I recently decided to redo my 40gal cichlid tank in favor of another planted tank. So far it has 3 bags of eco complete and 110w CF lighting. I started co2 friday with 2x 2 liter diy generators and most plants are already pearling quite nicely. I'm going to add another bottle as soon as I finish another bottle of pepsi . The tank has already cycled thanks to reusing the filter from the cichlid setup. No fish yet, not sure I'm going to put any in other than some otto's and SAE's.
Sorry I had just removed a huge clump of java moss and the water is a little cloudy in this pic

The plants are (starting from left front)
Green wendetti, ? ludwigia, rotalla rotundifolia, potamogeton gayi, water sprite, primrose (?), witeria, java fern, babys tears, four leaf clover, some kind of crypt?, dwarf sagitaria, didiplis diandra, java moss, hair grass, and micro chain sword.
I took me a week before I figured out what I wanted it to look like. Finally after looking through Nature aquarium world I decided on the "hill" theme.
I'm still not 100% sure on this though. The plan is to have the hair grass, dwarf sagitaria and four leaf clover to provide a good foreground and most taller plants on the left of the tank. Thanks to jchillin I'll have some hygro in the far left back corner. Also have some corkscrew vals coming (thanks to Lonewolfblue) and I planed on putting them either behind the red crypts or in the far right hand corner. I think also I will move the water sprite because it looks too much like the wisteria.
Any suggestions on how to make this aquascape come together better?
