looks nice, see if you can get those bubbles all they way from one side to another.
 
add drift wood and more depth of field.

u can add more depth of field by, putting taller objects further towards the back of the tank and keep shorter objects closer to the front.
 
I was looking to add mopani root but that stuff gets pricey but looks amazing
 
Rock piles...lots of rock piles...added benefit of being free, just make sure you boil them for a bit before you put them in. Should go without saying but make sure they are completely cooled before you put them in...rocks hold alot of heat and you don't want to cook your fishes.

personally, I would scrap the artificial plants, and get a black background with some driftwood and some "rock piles" or slate to compose some caves or just places for comfort so they're not being watched 24-7
 
Wood and rocks for depth
 
Agreed, wood for sure. Rocks if you want, but definitely wood. And yes a black background. And just personal preference I guess but I would switch to sand...though as gravel goes I like yours, it's the right color.

What kind of lights are you using? I like that purplish tint...my lights are really white.
 
I don't exactly know what kind of lights mine are, I bought the tank and hood and lights from Petspart with my discount, when I find out I will post then (currently at a friends house atm) I do have a black background I picked up a couple weeks ago that is on it. Where would be the best place for me to buy driftwood or Mopani roots? ebay? and I don't think I can use live plants because Sevs eat them....I know fake ones are tacky :(
