very nice hardscape .

chose plants carefully this tank will looks verrrrry nice

those are some amazing rocks!

I'd say, scape the tank with flow of rocks(texture of rock). It'll look more natural.

Plants will be HC, Pogostemon helferi and Staurogyne repens. In the sides of back side rocks, there will be some red colored stem plants.

Now I can't make any change. Rocks are really beautiful.

We have maintained the lines very strictly. Might be light is the culprit here...a bit more light can show you the texture lines and the arrangement. Few changes can be made during final layer of sand.

Are you using helferi? that like coconut trees fir the scape

Rgt side arrangement looks natural except the single piece of rock placed over top of another.IMO ter should be little more elevation .May be little light will gv a bettrr view.

The rock placed over top of another rock is for another place. he....he... There will be more elevation on later stage.

I think we need one medium sized rock left most area of the tank.
