Hi Ray
I'm fairly new and know naff all compared to most on here, but I've read your thread and looked at this lovely looking tank of yours. It's very colourful without being garish, and whether this has happened by planning or by accident, all I can say is well done, it's very inviting to look at.
I hear what you're saying about the open sand area. I think one more small piece of stone in the front left below that little black mark in the sand and about 4 times the size, about an egg size would even things out. With grass growing behind and in-between that and the existing end rock. There's perhaps potential for a small low ledge piece being exposed from the sand to the front right too.
The space to the left of the red plant I can imagine, set slightly further back, a taller plant with a strong stem and medium sized horizontal leaves. For me this would finish it off well with a sort of tree look about it.
As I said, I know very little of the names etc but I love thinking about what might work, and the never-ending pursuit of the prefect scape.
I'm learning and feeling inspired lots being here and I hope you don't mind my suggestions.
Thanks
Gavin
