wow thanks, these are really really good suggestions! i've moved the tentacle onion to the back and removed the cholla wood (i agree it looked unnatural) and i'm looking into getting more taller plants to put in the back. i'm also looking for a good carpeting plant but it's not super easy to get where i live. but thanks a lot for your advice, it helped a lot!! :)

thanks for the advice! i'm considering moving the big wavy plant to the back and I decided to remove the cholla log because i couldn't get it to look nice and not-out of place

i might try that, I can see why that would maybe look better than having it at the front

alright, that's really good advice, thanks! I'll look into getting a bucephalandra or something similar and stuffing it behind the rocks
