Ideas? Need inspiration

I'd like to piggytail on this thread. I'm as creative as the gravel in my tank.
Anybody have a link to a nice site to get inspiration? I'm watching videos from this site and youtube for inspiration atm. But this is the interweb, I bet there are site dedicated just for decorating fish tanks.

I'm about to set up my 60 gallon. I have a large peice of driftwood, I'm thinking of placing it in the pump corner, heavy vegitation in front of it.

On the other side of the tank I plan to have a cave of some sort, want to build it myself with rocks, but might buy a finished ornamentif I find the right one. Light vegi around the cave and the rest of the aquarium open except in the middle of the 60 cm long driftwood piece there is a "flagpost". I will attach some floating plant to it for shelter.
I will also gradially have the gravel go bigger. Were small almost like sand on the cave side, and gradually getting bigger towards the pump side with lots of vegitation.

Should I blend some fine gravel with the big ones for the plants sake at the dense plant side?

Other than that I'm wide open fr ideas.

Hi Butters, I've moved your questions to a thread of it's own.
This will be less confusing for everyone who has suggestions.

This is a really neat site. And while most of the folks are more into the plant style of aquascaping there might be something there to catch your attention.
