I like it alot, it looks wild Really diggin' the wood, great shapes.

I think it lacks a distinctive foreground though, and the nana petites will be grown over possibly.

The use of the nana is to cover the wood.
Cant find shorter plants that can survive 24w lights which is kenna low.
Any plants to suggest?

C. parva is good if you have the patience to wait months (literally) for it to carpet.

E. tennelus i would have thought should do fine. Survived in mine with quite low wpg.
