I would suggest making a cave off to the right and then making a structure around the driftwood off to the left.

Yeah, the after looks alot better, and you could go with some fake plants like some suggested. and more caves...and the heater can be hidden like Swuawkbert said, no reason to look directly at it...kind of takes the focal point out of the tank...and how about putting the driftwood in the middle or a little of center or in a valley like SB suggested also....and then build the rocks around that, with some caves in mind, and yeah, what kind of cichlids are you going to get...

I agree. Remember, 'less is more' in some cases. Play around with the amount of rocks you currently have in the tank and try to slope the left side of the pile down towards the center of the tank and maybe add 1 or 2 of the rocks to the left side of the tank. Looking good so far.:thumbsup:

Thank u for moving the heater, i was ready to reach in there and do it, i would move the temp probe out of site, it wont make a difference on the reading, i also think the DW should be alittle more in the middle or maybe get an additional piece to lay across, but it looks very nice now ......:)

Better still, but I find the rocks to be a little too dominant on the right. Anything to diffuse that a little would be good. Redistribute them a bit, so taht they're less "organized" or tie some moss to them so that it will obscure them somewhat.
