Looking good, like the hardscape. Will be interested to see how the pH controller works out.
 
Out of curiosity, are you planning any more flow than the external?

the ph controller is working perfectly now, will eventually get some more movement hardware when plants have grown in, but for now
the filter will do me fine..
 
Nice looking so far!
 
I hope you are going to replace that bubble ladder with a decent diffuser - will be so much more effective :)

The bright green pointy-leaved plant in the front on the right looks suspiciously like a dracaena, which is NOT an aquatic plant. Other than that I think your tank is looking good. I'd love to have that piece of wood in the back left!!

i actually think its a very effective diffuser and much better than the actual ladder ones..once the bubble reaches the top its miniscule and nearly gone..my LFS has a 750 ltr planted with the same diffuser and its booming....check out the proper specs online JBL TAIFUN...good thing is its unlimited extendible

Have you got any more details on this? E.g. Total wattage.

That's a pretty low flow for a planted tank. What are your plans for the future to increase it?

3 x TMC Growbeam 1500 Ultima tiles if you can afford it! 
 
Otherwise contact ps3steveo for a quote on some custom LED lights.
