I took some pics of my tank last night with the hope of some suggestions on how to improve its layout/look/etc. The tank is an AquaStart 320T (37 litres), has a yeast based CO2 system rigged up and I'm dosing Ei currently (started last Thursday). Stock is 6 guppies, 1 endler livebearer, 2 white cloud mountain minnow and 2 neon tetras - plus 4 red cherry shrimp and 2 amano shrimp. Plant wise I have some amazon sword, vallis corkscrew, indian fern, java fern on a bamboo and moss ball.
This is my first tank so I've learned a lot in the last 2 to 3 months, but know there is a still lot more to learn.
The plants are starting to look more healthy, although the java fern on the bamboo is looking a bit sorry for itself and the amazon sword looks quite anaemic. The position of the bog wood currently prevents me removing the algae on that side of the glass properly so I would like to move that – although this will mean moving the Indian fern too.
Your comments & expertise are welcome! This includes positioning of heater, filter etc

Close up of a rather ill looking sword leaf (the corkscrew looks reasonable though):
