Need some aquascaping advice.....

[Kashta]

I would suggest just a couple of things. You have a lot of leafy stuff in there now. So break that up a little using accent plants to add more interest. Something tall and vertical (a hand full of dwarf onions, maybe).. something showy with broad or strappy leaves.. (some apons or crinums). Do this with something that also adds reddish or darker colors, and it's even more dramatic.. like that dwarf lotus plant dafferspup suggested or a red barclaya. Add in some (visible!) driftwood or large rocks would help too.

Some different color plants would be good: red or bronze crypts maybe

How about...

This is adding a piece of wood to break things up a little.
Plus just trimming back the upper right, to help get some flow from the swords.

You have a very nice tank!
But sense I've obviously watched way too many home re-decor shows. I noticed my eyes went No Where when looking at it. If that makes any sense.

Some Red plants could be substituted for the wood, and should/would get the same affect.

That Actually does look nicer.....I do know what you mean that your eyes went know where there is not focal point right. And I do have some red plants in there but they have not really gotten red more pinkish than anything else...I have Sunset Hygro, Ludwigia repens, and some others, or do I need something that is a bit more red? Thank you everyone for the suggestion so far...just keep them coming :thm:

I think a long piece of driftwood along the middle would provide some relief and break up the green.
Beautifull tank as is however.

Thank you very much....yeah I think I need a nice piece of driftwood to break it up like you say

Here's a starting point. This tank is fairly similar to yours. Have a look, it might give you some ideas. This is Macclellan's tank off of planted tank.

Hey Jmhart were there suppose to be some other pictures in this post?

umm about the placement of your dw, i feel like the right side of the tank is where it should be placed as it looks like if there is a blank space there.

Paraphasing but :werd:Having a centerpiece plant, driftwood, and a few different colors/styles of plant would be more eye catching. Still it does look very nice as is.
