Hi Pavan,
The rocks need to be changed as they are too small for the size of tank you have.
Would like to know, what do you want to achive from the scape; what is the final picture on your mind on this sacpe?
Since, you are going to end up lighting this tank with 265watts, we would also like to know few maore details:
1. Substrate
2. filteration
3. Plants
4. Fish
Regards,
Surya |

Hi pavan
I am setting my 4 footer at my home ( planted )
I would suggest u to be a little unconventional - use a milky white translucent background and apart from your top lighting use a small pl light behind the tank so that it give u the daylight scenery - wil give u an awesome look and use a V shaped aquascaping design
Thanks |

I think your arranagement is not bad at all...but as Surya said these rocks are too small...the wood also not giving the proper show...but yes wth small size rocks also you can achive some super scape...just search in the internet you will get a lot of examples...
You can visualize what you want to achive...
One more thing as you ae using the best substrate you can grow some foreground plants. As per your plant list you are going to invest a good, so invest little bit more on FGs. But you need to look out for CO2 also..right...
Very sorry I have done very harsh work with your tank...I wish to visualize the tank with these rocks as follows...  |
