Looks gorgeous, Mel! My only suggestion would be to pull some/most of those plants off the mopani. It's got such an awesome texture and shape, I think you could really use that to your advantage as a point of contrast. The plant growth around it looks so lush already, it seems like that wood will be completely overtaken in no time. Denuded, it'll definitely pop as a strong focal point in your tank.

Thanks, Ricky! :) You make a really good point. The wood is really lovely, isn't it. I hadn't thought about how nicely the bare arms of that wood would contrast with the plants, and even moreso as the plants really fill in.

I could attach the Christmas moss to another good sized rock, as I did with the moss in the back left corner, and then I could either put the new moss covered rock in the right corner, or even behind the wood, peeking through the arms of the wood... what do you think?

If it were my tank, I'd glue or tie the moss down to those river rocks you have in front, and pile it up around the driftwood. If you're considering letting that chain sword/sag thing take over the whole front of the tank, the dark and finely dissected fronds of the moss should mix gorgeously with the light and grassy looking chain sword.

I like the way that sounds. I'll try that. :)
