your tank looks like it has lots of potential, i like the way you placed the DW at the left corner, looks rather natural. however i forsee a prob with your tank. The Riccia. Firstly, with 3 ft tank, 2 x 36 is not sufficient. Secondly i doubt it goes with your scape. Rather, why dont you add in another DW in centre angle it tp create a midground. A flat DW. The may add somemore ferns there, japonica in the centre woont hurt too, but the riccia would not look good.

thanks for the comments,
hmm...yep..the riccia are growing very slowly, or not at all.....

may consider to replace with taiwan moss foreground maybe....lol

Wouldn't it be wierd to have the tenellus infront of the moss/riccia? I mean, the tenellus would be taller, right? Water still cloudy?
