My New Aqua One Aquanano 40 - Trials And Errors!

Update, now I have micro swords planted around as you can see.
 
They're going to carpet it eventually

I think it will look wonderful once it all grows in!

I think it looks good! If you put the taller bit of wood with the plant on it back in placed at the right back corner would give some nice depth to it!!
 
I think you need to slope the substrate a bit and make a nice neat line at the front.  Is that HC, you might need a bit more to make a carpet, are you using CO2?
Your micro swords looked good, what happened to them?
 
Thanks for the replies guys.

I agree it needs more height. I'm not sure about putting that other piece of wood back in. It's massive, and I think it will dwarf the other piece of wood... But still I do need to add something.

I still have my micro swords - one of the them is in there, in the off-centre behind that rock. I can add more, definitely. Where do you think would be a good place?

And the substrate does have a slope - should I slope it even more?
 
I like how you've placed the sword as a mid-ground plant, it looks especially good around the rocks.
I can see the slope on the left but not the right, perhaps it just needs evening off at the front.
 
Okay I bought a big rock to add some height.

I've just plonked it in with the driftwood to see what it looks like...
It obviously needs to be changed, so suggestions welcome. I'm a little lost! :s
Here it is...

Perhaps the twig in-between the rocks were the grass is then the grass perhaps behind the twig to the right of it slightly
 
Okay here's what I come up with, and I'm pretty happy with it :D

That looks pretty good :)
The rocks complement each other well when they're aligned the same way like that.  Perhaps a few more micro swords between them?
 
Thanks daize :D

I'll put in a few more micro swords, too.

I am so relieved I got this done.

Next thing is to do the cycle!
 
Here's a little collage of some of the plants in my tank
