I have a quick question... Where are you going to place the bubbling treasure chest and the "no fishing" sign? I don't see much room for them, and fish really like those items a lot. I suggest that we call in Freshy and Glabe for suggestions of placement.

post 18 4th pic down is the best looking IMO.. I like the 1st pic in post 19....but I think I would take the smaller wood out and just leave the bigger one. You mentioned you had more wood...maybe some pics of those?

In post #18 I like pic 1 and 4.
except for pic 1 I would and smaller rocks in front of the driftwood on the right as well.

In pic 4 a smaller grouping of instead rocks at the base of the driftwood instead of 1 large rock to angle the sight line high to low from left to right. You can then do taller stems just left working a foreground and ending low at the right from the front of the tank to rear.

Here are a few older pics of the driftwood I have. They are currently in use in my 30 gal. And are hard to get pics of because my plants have taken over.

In the background is a long flat peice.

Here you can see the hunk of dw and the smaller peice as well.

Okay…so I would use the layout in post 19…but instead of that smaller piece of driftwood jammed into the other ….I would use the small piece from your 30 to lay across from the larger driftwood to the rocks. Does that even make sense? Haha

Im not gunna lie, i kinda like the all drift wood layout. for some reason it seems more fitting for a ram tank.

Large rock, driftwood flat

I'd say #3 of the original post. I like the smaller rocks clustered in front of the bigger pink rock, and the driftwood flat stands up taller. You have a nice front area for some glosso or another carpet plant if you have the light to support it. Looking good!
I definitely like the this last setup better.
