Yes, aquascaping. I am mostly a reefer myself, but in general for aquariums scaping refers to both the base structure of your tank, as well as the plants/corals that you stock it with.
Mainly what I was asking about is whether you are planning on adding more base structure, such as stones, driftwood, and other large pieces that allow you to sculpt a landscape, both vertically and laterally. Many people use large stones or shale, as well as different sized pieces of driftwood to create the the looks they want.
Right now, there doesn't look to be too much base structure like rocks and wood, which is mainly what I was referring to. Your plants will grow around this base structure, so the structure itself (that you create) will influence how your plants take root
