did a major rescape today to replace the plants used with low maintenance ones...got sick of trimming stem plants and clearing loose moss from the hairgrass
The HM started to annoy me as it refused to root well and kept floating up when agitated by the shrimp foraging for food at its base, and the rotala wallichii started to look bald due to its needle-like leaves and the fast flow from being directly under the filter HOB outlet (this was before i decided to buy a Boyu EF-05 mini canister for the tank), so what was supposed to be a trimming session became instead a rescape. The general feel is still there, but the HM got replaced by Echi. parvifluous "Tropica" while the Rotala wallichii got replaced by Ludwigia arcuata. I also got 1/4 pot of japanese hairgrass to try and get a quicker lawn.
New fauna has also gone in since my last update. The inhabitants are now 2x Betta falx (1 pair), 1x zebra oto, 1x yamato shrimp, 1x tiger shrimp and 1x zebra snail. I'm looking to add some small dithers (probably boraras) but currently the only place selling them is too far for me to travel.
here's what it looks like now (poorer quality than usual due to my using of hp camera):

i find that the rock is too white.. maybe you want to look for another rock with more of the greyish colour?..
my 2 cents.
I find it much better than the old scaping... love that crypto!
