Hi,

Your 2 driftwoods are very attractive, but they seem to be too similar in their size. You might want to create a heavier emphasis on either one side by putting more plants, while leaving the other easy on plants.

Eg, left side add bolbitis, rotala rotundifolia green, rotala arcuata, crypts. Right side narrow leave java ferns with some anubias nanas.

Placing some rocks can help to create more depth in the scape, also to conceal some parts of the woods that you do not wish to show.

Happy scaping

Cheers

Thio
