I actually think that this is a great set up, do not touch or change anything, just put your substrate in and plant, don't move anything at all, really like it.

Do you have photo shoot from front?? Your scape is nice
Just remember to consider the way plants grow in later.

really like the scape from you & your wife
- it's great when your partner can be involved too
He already bought co2 system.
Hairgrass kind of invasive and will gradually replace hc. But I never have the chance to try out these two in person and deal with the growth pattern of both together.

The most accurate way is using par meter to measure the light. You can try to ask lfs. If they don't have par meter another way is to use lux meter installed in your smartphone which will give relatively accurate result.
Example, my tank is using led with bulb similar to yours. It is 28watt and when I measure it with lux meter from 30 CM away (bottom of my tank ) it yield 4500 lux, with this light i can only barely keep my hc alive and glosso crawling across substrates.
I tested it with Ada led light it gives 8000-9000 Lux reading.
Maybe you can try it out? At least it is free and can give figure as reference.

If I can get my hands on par meter and various lighting system. I might create a comparison chart.Wow, thanks for the info about lighting! Never really have any idea bout this. Tried downloading some apps in my phone and will definitely test it later when i come home from work. Hopefully I can finalized my hardscape and start planting later.
I am ready to fail with the plants given my current experience and knowledge, but with people in the forum giving help, I am able to minimize and learn my lesson in advance.
Really liking your plans. The scape looks very impressive for your first time!
Go forth and enjoy!
Yup, same to me, I rather watch my tank and fish for hours. You have a good start, hope you can keep them well.Thank you. It's not my first time to get a pet fish but it's just now that I came to realize all the technicalities and stuff about this hobby. The more reading, watching videos and checking forums made me gain a different perspective about it. I hope I can really pull this off as I love gardening and fishes and if the plants do well, it will be a two birds and one stone hit!
