I agree with RB. I think the wood could go lengthwise in front of that big crypt in the center of the tank. Would be a shame to disturb that groundcover though.
Is that ludwigia gettilng enought light? Maybe the floater needs to be moved.

you took out the driftwood and give the tank dark background. Nice tank. how many gallons is it holding?

This tanks is 29 gallons.

The ludwigia has been growing fine for months, but it's about time to trim my floaters. I use a 65w lamp and have a second on backup, so I think all the plants should be happy.

I know everybody keeps telling me about the driftwood, I have tons of driftwood that I've been using for years. I just wanted to give it a rest for this tank, a dense jungle of plants and fish, that's all.

Does everyone feel that driftwood and rocks are a must for the planted tank? I'm just trying to break from the norm and the tank is only 29 gallons, I want to plant every spot of the eco.

Stick with what you have now. Wood in tank = less space for plants. If you are able to create a nice look (which you have) without wood then stick with it.
