Those small sword plants under the shade of the wood isn't going to do very well. They need more light.

Thank for your advice..
For a start you can fill up with more water. Using wood to camouflage your filter inlet is natural-looking but it will reduce the effectiveness of your filtration system.
In terms of layout... I find the stem plants behind the moss (on the right side) a bit overwhelming. You should fill up the left and center portion of the back and leave the right side empty. Then the viewer's eyes will follow the flow of your wood from left to right and to the open space. Having said that... scaping is a personal expression... there's no hard rules governing and there's no right and wrong

Thank for your advice.. As for water this is the max i can put le... N my filter inlet is on the right side with cotton to collect dirty stuff n pump to pump water up..Sorry i forget what term to use for this type of filtering... Using wood is to camouflage my co2 glass tube n im thinking of tieing moss on it... Is it good??
As for layout i have try to fill the left side of the plant but e plant dont seem to grow well maybe because of my water outlet pressure to big.. That y i move it to the right... Maybe thinking of changing a new pump n get new plant when im free to visit one of the fish store.. Anyway really thank for yr advice n comment..
Hi reborn4ever:
These plants look like Echinodorus parviflorus 'Tropica'. They remain small and can be left out in the foreground under more light.
Personally, I feel the driftwood seem a bit "overwhelming" currently. Maybe because it is lack of plants too that makes the tank looks smaller than 3 ft. Maybe shift it more to one side to hide your filter pipings or the back. Or have more plants covering the empty spaces. If you do not have any plants in mind, I can suggest more Crypts or Bylxa japonica or Lobelia cardinalis for midground. Have more of the Glosso to cover your foreground. Background plants should have a lot of choices. Maybe some reddish stem plants for some contrast?
Cheers!

Personally it looks like you can get atleast another 2 inches worth of water in there, surely?

Hi all, this is my new update of my tank... Feel free to comment n advice..
Looking pretty good.
How about topping up more water so as to conceal more of the water marks? Also, what is the foreground plant on the left? It is a little too tidy in my opinion.

Sheesh.... work is really keeping me away from my hobby
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Thank bro.. i hope that i can add more water but my tank is like this (see picture).. I dont know what the name this type of filter system...
Oh ok, you are using an 'internal overflow system' (IOS). The filter chamber looks really empty. You should pack in more stuff like ceramic rings or biohome, maximize the space. If you are using CO2, either increase the water volume to reduce the splashing or crank up the CO2.

O it call (IOS)... Thank for yr advice..
