It'll look much better in a couple of days when the leaves darken up a bit.

Thanks Chris! For the price, SunSun's are great. Though, I may upgrade yet again some time soon.

Lots of new stuff with this tank! Here is the low down...
New Plants: Acorus gramineus
New Fish: 12 Ilyodon frucidens (Thanks Hydrophyte!)
New Equipment: Coralife Digital Thermometer, Hydor Koralia Nano 425GPH powerhead
Everything is starting to look as I had it in my mind. To an extent atleast. This summer, or sooner I plan to breed the livebearers and share them with some local freinds and such. But first, I need to get some good fish food and a fry tank setup. So until then!
I am also in the hunt for a good riparium foreground plant(s). I have a smaller cutting of Pilea grandifolia, so fingers crossed that will take off and allow me to fill up some space. Other then that I am not sure.
Feel free to comment!

Ruellia brinttona - This plant has really taken off!
