i agree with a lot said. keeping with the natural look with slate driftwood maybe plants is the best way to go.

Glad to know there are so many out there into the "natural" look. I totally agree, natural rocks arranged according to your liking, driftwood is a sure thing as they come in many shapes n sizes. Also the slight tannin tinge looks nice. I tried different lighting but natural daylight is how these fish would be viewed and that would be the actual colours. So use a full spectrum light. They mess with plants but I still have real plants in as the false ones are well "false" 
So along with the weekly water changes, I rearrange the plants too
