decor for figure 8 tank?

My tank is a 75 gallon brackish community. I have rocks, driftwood, and fake plants in mine. There is one medium size piece of drift wood, and two small branches. The rocks are lace rock, one is 25 pounds and the other is 20 pounds. The puffers loves to weave in and out of the plastic plants (I would estimate that I have about 15 plants in there) and chase each other and their food. The other fish love all of the hiding places and can escape the puffers when they go crazy. My advice to you would have lots of fake plants to break up the lines of site and leave it at that. Do not even worry about real plants. Get some lace rock too, it looks nice.
 
fine black sand, wood (pref. artificial), and mix fake plants w/ hardy live ones like java fern.
 
I have onion plants, different types of java ferns, algae balls, and mosses. My figs like caves, things stuck on the sides of the tank to loop. They like me to move things. I have a lot of large fake shells that I rotate in - figs love those. A Big bubble bar that they adore. Best of luck
