How should I aquascape my 6'

[Eric A]

Hello

I know just one thing for sure. I want to redo my 6'. I bought it as a package, with silly fish combos, and horid gravel. I've always been meaning to redo it, and I think that now is the time. I have 'a little' cash on hand, so I want to just revamp the whole thing.

So give me suggestions on how you would scape a 6'x2'x2.5' (LxWxH). I don't want too many plants in it however, and the substrate needs to be fine gravel or sand.

The rest is yours, play as you will.

I'll keep adding ideas I have to this, to see what you think. And remember, I don't have a lot of money.

[Eric A]

looks nice maybe a pile of pink or grey river rocks at the right side

Nah, I like that design... I don't think i'd put river rock on the other side.

I like how it flows. The focus point is the rocks, then your eyes go up to the large mass of plants groing on the branch, the anubias and java fern a bolbitus, then your eyes are taken along the branch covered in mosses, untill you reach the end, at which point, you start looking for fish
