help me plan out this nano

I got the plants at New World... but they're sag... much talller than the ones I've been growing in my other tanks. many of them are inches taller than the actual tank.
new world.. is that any where near win/pacific? I plan to visit win/pacific tomorrow hope they have some good plants at decent prices.
I'm really liking the layout of this tank! The more I've been watching, the more I've been thinking of doing a similar small scale aquascape with shrimp.
update:
yesterday I counted 10 fry, all around a quarter inch long, and starting to color up. they really have a cute arch to their tail at this age! some of them have a distinctive red tint, where others, not so much... I'm beginning to think the father was a bee shrimp.
and speaking of bee shrimp, today I managed to capture 2 of my bee shrimp from the 15 gallon and I added them into this tank... we'll see what happens.
the plants are going well, although some of the taller ones are curling over in the current. not much I can do about that, without diffusing the current, which for now isn't a priority. I haven't been using the light that much, since the tank seems to get quite a bit of sun, and I now have an aerogarden about 3 feet away, which has nearly 60 watts of light going 16 hours a day... I basically use the tank light for viewing and warming the tank. it warms it up rather quickly. I may swich to one of the lower wattage bulbs I have.
the planaria have died back, I see very few of them. there are some springtails, but not enough to worry about. all in all, the tank is coming along nicely.
