You're moving fast brother. At this pace, your new home in Bengaluru will soon have less carpet area than glass area. 
I'm not much into fronts, but the fish and setup look awesome to me. 
Just a few more rocks and crevices would look nice and serve as hiding spots and play areas. Also, a black background will increase the contrast. Also, check whether you can lay your hands on some soft blue moonlights.
These are just suggestions from a guy who hasn't ever kept fronts. The front experts will surely guide you better regarding any mods needed.  |

Nice Video there 
But wont mixing large fronts with smaller fronts be a problem?
I agree with the above, a black background with moonlights will look awesome. |

just a suggestion do not give them any hiding place if you do they will start hiding and never come out in the open also reduce the light if possible they do not need heavy lighting
regards,
Clive |

Hahaha....  well said
Hi Rohit,
I just love your setup dude I'm a fan of fronts. Just try to lower the intensity of the light. It will help your fishes to be more comfortable. And also try to change the colour of your light to a slightly bluish tint. It can be done very easily, just wrap your normal florescent tube with a layer of blue plastic paper. I have done it myself and has got a pleasing result. cheers |

Thx Guys!
Ya Kastor, I've been feeling the same..... Space is shrinking.....
Even my wife is getting impatient now!
Now I can also say "My Hobby is becoming my Wife's biggest Enemy"
Thanks for your valuable comments & will incorporate changes soon..... Quite held-up with my work as need to meet deadlines... |

Do you intend to add any species to this tank?
I agree with Clive's suggestion. Please keep the tank set up simple so that there are not too many territory fights in the tank.
Regards,
Jai |
