its looking really good so far. i love the sand and the amazon sword plant is a nice one.

although the plant circled in red doesnt look much like an aquatic plant. i may be wrong but keep an eye on it.

edit: get some more bogwood lol. more more MORE!! (i love bogwood )

also how big is the tank?

I really like it. The only bit I don't get on with so great is the bridge. I think without it the tank would look more natural.

You could achieve something very similar with driftwood if you wanted, and you could still keep the natural look

add java moss over the coconut caves and watch it get coverd by java moss

is java moss an easy plant to keep? i currently have 6 plants and about 6 fake plants but the fake ones look great too lol. i just changed my light from a small 1ft 13W tube to a 3ft 30-60 (cant remember) strip light.
