180L Planted Juwel

[Duck and Dive]

I had this tank planted before but I didnt go to plan so I am going to re-do it. I really like Aarons 216L planted tank as it would look good with my shoal of corys at the bottom. I like the idea of the river looking tanks so I am going to go with that idea in mind. I am not sure on what plants, fish or decor to put in it as I am quite new to the planted side, when I first got this tank I decided to do a planted set up but that went a bit wrong! These are the specs of the tank:

Filtration and Co2

Juwel Bioflow 600Lph
Superfish Aqua Pro external 900Lph
Juwel 200w heater 25oC
Tetra Co2 and 2L yeast unit mabye add a pressurised system if levels go to low.

Which means a turnover of 8.3x per hour.

Lighting

2x 45w T5

Fish

8x Bronze Corydoras
25x Precox Rainbowfish

Plants

Bylxa japonica x10
Crypt wendtii x10
Glossostigma elantinoides x10
Aponogeton crispus x5
Echinodorus Cordifoluis x5
Crypt Lingua x5

Decor

Underworld aqua grit 15kg
Sumatra wood (large) x4
Various unknown stones

So anyone got any good suggestions for plants and decor for a river style tank as I am pretty new to this!

Thanks in advance !

Right plant list as follows:

5x Bylxa Japonica
10x Crypt Wendtii
5x Glossostigma Elantinoides
5x Aponogeton Crispus
5x Java Moss
5x Mexican Fern Oakleaf
10x Lilaeopsis Brasiliensis
5x Giant Japanese Rush

Fish I am going to have; 25 Precox Rainbowfish and 8 Bronze corys

I have ordered 4 pieces of sumatra wood and 15kg of underworld aqua grit as well.

Got any pics? My feeble mind can only cope with shiny images!

The hardscape (with water and a couple of plants) I had to do this full of water as I did not want to move the corydoras and yes they have spawned everywhere so excuse the eggs, oh also the pics are quite bad as My camera broke !

Aponogeton Crispus

The Giant Japanese Rush now added at the background, they came through the post looking really good but were a nightmare to keep their roots buried in the gravel:

Then added the Bylxa Japonica, Lilaeopsis Brasiliensis, Mexican Fern Oakleaf, Java Moss some Crypt Wendtii and finally Glossostigma Elantinoides:

Now a few close ups:

And these!

Little sods ruined my tank!

But I love em!

Now all thats left is for the plants to grow, I have added a 5L yeast system which is diffused via the pump to help add some more Co2 as the tetra one is only recommended for tanks up to 100L. I am dosing with waterlife tropiflora and it says 8ml does 180L and will last 7-14 days, should I dose more often?
