Looks like you can grow plants easily

I always say this: A good hardscape is the basis of a nice aquascape. The wood you have there isn't good, because it's too "blocky". Look around... it's difficult to find nice tanks with blocky driftwood as a feature.

Start by looking around for branchy wood, those with lots of horizontal branches (emphasizes the length of your tank).

Spend a few days arranging it in your tank (can take this time to sink your driftwood also). Find the best looking position you can, and fix it there. Then build around it with plants.

Also try to have a "shape" of the scape in your tank.

Nice and neat! Since there's much empty space, I like more plants.
How about covering the left and right backgrounds with Hygrophila polysperma "sunset". Grows to nice big bush and covering the filter pipes.

Can tie more Anubias to the driftwood?

Near the driftwood and to the back glass, can consider mid size plants like Crypts, Blyxa japonica or Lobelia cardinalis...

The Echin seems to be blocking some views of the plants beside and behind it. Ever consider relocating it to the rear or side?
