If yuo are using 2.5-3.0wpg, maybe you can try planting you tank thicker with lotsa stems like E. Stelleta, L. Aromatica and rotalas. It will be very fun once the plants grow in and fills up your whole tank.

regards

Dimensions are 48"x16"x20...Im currently using 3x40w light..Its 2 wpg..Slightly under..I gona add a 4th tube but need to suspend lights first abv tank if not there would not be enuff opening...

Setup in abt 2 weeks old...Still young..fot the first week i had alot of stem plants but remove them 2 days back..Added liquid fert (pro life) yesterday

like squee said, a couple of smaller rocks to accompany the big rock would be nice.
shift the 3 rocks more to the left side as it looks to central at the moment.
APP, glosso or e.tenellus would be nice foreground plants.
e.tenellus would give the tank a more wild looking foreground.
your stem plants are planted to closely together in a clump.
stem plants need to be planted individually about 1cm apart. this will make sure the bottom part of the stem receives enough light and do not rot away.
