This is just to show off my planted tank, maybe get a few suggestions. It's obviously not done (not even close..).

And the driftwood itself (Windelov, java, and the moss, no wiring, just roots)

The human-influenced section

And the less planted hilly section

And for kicks, the six-string cory gang.

Any other ideas? There's an anubias back there, hasn't really grown out yet.

Enjoy!
 
What are all the flower pots for??
 
nice. plants loos healthy. Im not a big fan of ornaments but I really like that japanese style lantern near left-side middle. maybe you can attach some moss there to give it an aged look.
 
The blue gravel was a medium from my 5 gal tank.. I think it adds some sort of neat flair.
The pots I got for tiny fish to hang out in. ADFs love them.
 
Nice.
 
What kind and how much lights do you have? The swords might need a bit more then the rest...

You might want to divide the Cryps and micro swords and spread them out a bit. It will make your tank look a bit more fuller once they taking off.

Great start...

High K, low watt..

Yea, I'm not done rearranging the stuff. I think I may spread them out differently when the broad-leafed plants mature a little more.
 
Nice tank. Of course, more plants! And maybe a background?
