Looking for input on my scene!

[CausticSoda]

Hey all! I’m new to this hobby but loving it. I’ve been slowly building and adjusting the aquarium in the pics. I would love some input on how to make this a more dynamic and composed scene. Having an algae problem at the moment but I’m addressing it. Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I think it already looks good. Adding some driftwood and floating plants (such as water lettuce) would add some more variety.

I think adding some more hardscape like driftwood and rocks finish it off. Also, looks like you have a java fern planted in the substrate at the front (pic 6 shows it better) - I’d take that out and attach it to a rock as it will die off if the rhizome isn’t exposed.

Your plants looks great! As the other have said some hardacape would finish it off. Your sort of have a triangular composition going in with most of your plants is the left corner. Look up triangular composition and negative space. Having regions where there is nothing draws your eye to your plants and hardacape.

I know you are looking for advice but can I just say from the photos I loved how there are nooks, crannies and discoveries all over your tank. Really enjoyed getting to see what you created!

I love the tank, it's very spacious and they're plenty of room to swim around explore! I'd love to be a fish in there
