I now have a 46gal bowfront setup with a Hagen Glo T5HO Dual Light Fixture running with a 6,700k and a 18,000k bulb with plain playsand as a substrate
In the tank I know there is brazilian pennywart, green ozelot, amazon sword, and crypt wendtii, but i do not know the bulb plant of the what i am guessing is some variant of a sagg plant
Any advice as to do for the aquascaping to make it look better would be greatly appreciated.

well i guess i worded it strangely, but the bulb plant i was referring to is the lily haha, but i have come across the problem of the driftwood with java moss on it taking up to much space and won't let light get to certain places, so i was considering hacking off the right side so that I would have more lighted area for my plants
 
i am sure the substrate not being flat is not due to me, the filter i have pushes the sand around and then the two eels i have in the tank like to borrow and move sand too, yet they never have uprooted any plants
 
thats funny. unless the plants have grown a well root system then they should be pretty hard to uproot or even pull out
 
they all seem to look like silver clowns but only one was bought as a full blood silver and the other two were in a group of mixed angels, i never thought i would liek angelfish but they are quickly becoming a favorite
 
trying getting a large rock(s ) (to replace the small pile of rocks) and place one (or them) in the the midground not in the back. tye anubias or java fern to the large rock and on driftwood. move the crypt toward the foreground(in front of the large rock). this is if you are planning in the long run to have less open area and a ton of plants. the shortest plants should be in the foreground while the tallest in the back for better depth.

some tall plants: crypt. spiralis, onion plant, apongeton undulatus, vallersina
 
alright thank you, here before too long I will make some adjustments to the set up and see how it looks and will post some updated pics
