Looks great for only a month old. I'd look to add some wood & a background though, to break it up a bit. Oh. and your pictures will look better if you shut the flash off completely. Let the light of the tank do the work for you. Also make sure all other lights & TV's are turned off so you don't get competing light sources & bad reflections.

Ok, what would you suggest for a background? Would a solid black background be too much? I previously has some cheesy background on my old tank with rocks and branches and it gave it a fake look in my opinion. As for the wood, I'm certainly going to be searching for that. What's the best resource for wood, the LFS? Seems so expensive, its ridiculous.

I'm glad you asked! I just bought a 20 gallon tank & needed a new background so I checked PetSmart & saw a static cling underwater sand background. I prefer it to the look of the solid color black or blue like the one in my signature.
Here's pics of the 20 gallon with the static cling background:
I want that wood! Tank looks great
I design & sell Signs for a living so I'm the perfect one to explain it to you. These install much like vinyl lettering except they have no adhesive to gunk up your glass. They are printed on a special material that clings to glass. All you have to do is pre-cut it to size & spray with a very light mist of water. You're supposed to spread it out with a squeegee but any long, smooth, and rigid plastic edge will do. Presto, instant perfectly installed background that's still removable if you want to try something different. It cost about twice as much as a regular tape on type but I think it's worth it.
Picked it up in my LFS. Pretty chuffed with a find. Just wanted a more natural look so did away with all the ornaments (apart from the rock structure at the back) and did away with my fake plants. All natural nowYa that driftwood!
My LFS doesn't have anything like that, and that's exactly the look I want. I will keep searching
