looks abit bare ... the big rock in the center is really distracting , maybe you wanna remove that and add a plant instead

wad do u mean by distracting? can explain ma? new to planting

my gravel is just normal pebbles so i cant really put rooted plants..

intending to tied some moss on the big rock itself.. wad do u think?

That big rock may cause your PH swing, minerals from the rock may lead out.

would advise you to get hornworts and some java ferns ... hardy and will look nice in the tank .

Bro these are some pointers:

1) Normally by the name rocky hill, we would expect to see something that look like a hill. Is the rock the 'hill' or is the 'hill' filled with rocks?

2) Normally also we use similar kinds of stones in a scape, if the scape want to represent a landscape replica.

3) Remove the polished pebbles and add some small plants instead. There are small plants - e.g. anubias that are hardy and look pretty.

4) The big rock seems to be too big. Recommend you tip the rock on it's side so it stands upright or get another smaller on.
by the way, the big rock is granite which is inert material.

pointed noted.. have since re scape my tank to a neater version picture is up one the other thread..

by the way, the big rock was suppose to be the hill with all the small pebble around it.. but look like i fail to get the feeling out..
