Hardscape layout help

[Worshiper]

So I had to leave the country on an emergency for 3 weeks and when I got back home my tank was in a mess!

Surprisingly, none of the fish died, but all my plants were a mushy mess!

I went to my LFS to buy some plants and was tempted to buy some new rock. .. yes i find any excuse to spend more money on my tank. so says the wife!

I have put the rock in the tank but I need help with the layout again.. Please send some suggestions/opinions on the layout.

PS. please excuse the murky water, I need to do more WCs and give it a good scrub but i was just excited to put the rock in.

your opinions matter so please suggest politely on what changes I can make

I plan to only use 1-2 species of carpet plants-- may be glosso, Pogostemon H and/or DHG with it.

Looks good, will look better with a nice carpet in there.

The only thing I think that would make it look better is if there was only 1 species of fish to keep things more uniform, but this is a personal preference.

Thanks Julian. Yes, plan to only keep golden and white cloud mountain minnows in this one in the long run.

the rocks look like cliffs, I like it.

the scape look good if stones are not calcareous but what draws my attention is Rummi-nose Tetra, these fish feel better only when are in larger cards and it is better for him if the water is soft

Thanks for the feedback guys. I have made a few minor changes and finally happy with the way it's turned out. Will upload a pic when the water gets a bit clearer as I did a WC too. Need to still do a lot more WCs and clean the glass of the brown algae. Difficult to get the stuff out!

Alright, quick update:

I added some HC and DHG to the scape and clean it up a bit. I am quite happy with the way it's turned out TBH.

As usual- you have to excuse my poor photography skills.

I need to change the background as i have just made do with some black paper files.
