My first planted tank!

Hi Everyone!
I have decided to convert my four 29 gallon tanks to planted tanks. I finished my first one on Saturday night. Here it is. Please let me know what you think! I am completely open to criticism or suggestions. I am a complete beginner at planted tanks. I got the plants off of aquabid and made sute that they are all low light plants. I am also adding flourish to the tank twice a week. I added an extra strip light to each of my tanks so that should help with the lighting.

Well I am keeping my fingers crossed and hoping that the plants stay healthy. I just planted them a couple of days ago, so I am hoping that they continue to thrive. I am going to slowly keep upgrading the lighting. That should help a lot. I just couldn't afford to go out and by a ton of light fixtures at once. Those things are expensive!

Some driftwood or rock work and using those to your advantage would be nice but I think it looks really good right now(a little crowded though remember plants grow =P)

I have some driftwood coming that I ordered off of aquabid. As far as rocks go I am trying to find some that match the ones already in the tank. I know that the plants will grow and at that point I will move some of them to other tanks. I have dwarf cichlids in the tank right now and they need shelter and hiding places so I tried to plant it thickly. I'll thin it out as they grow. Thanks for the advice
