Re: My tank finally set up!
Looks great. Although could do with a little more IMO maybe a few bits of drift wood and some coconut caves. Plant wise java moss, java fern, amazon frogbit and elodea would all work. You could use Christmas or flame moss and make a moss wall or carpet where you just get 2 bits of plastic mesh spread the moss evenly in the middle and then tie the sides up using fishing line and let it grow and spread through the gaps. It takes a while to grow and look good but once it does they look great.

Java ferns get quite tall and are really easy to keep. Ive got elodea in a 1 foot tall thats grown to the surface and now growing along the surface and some bit must be atleast 2 foot long.

Looks good. Although it might be a idea to spread them out so they all get more light.

Re: My tank finally set up!
Are the leaves on the plant silk or plastic? If this tank is for a betta (I forget what you said you intended to put in there) the plastic could tear a betta's fins.

Your tank looks nice but you may consider getting some kind of little hidey-hole thing for your fish. My bettas love little plastic bridge decorations to rest under, or other little cave-like structures that they can swim through.
