Thanks for all the feedback!
Regarding holes and gaps, the tank is eurobraced with a glass lid and one hole for electrical cords and the golden pothos root. I was worried about the gap and put some duct tape on it yesterday.
I’m going to get a bigger pothos and put the roots through the hole and have it form a cover. I did it one on a previous tank and it was amazing how thick the root system grew. I won’t be able to put floating plants in the tank as there is too much movement at the surface. I do have some floating plants in the sump though.
I will put some anubias on the wood. Right now it’s floating in the sump as I’m waiting for the wood to sink. I had to take some of the wood out to treat it for a hair algae outbreak. I need some more plants in the right rear corner. The vals have been driving me nuts with not staying rooted. Let’s see if it takes. I may get some more crypts as they’ll handle the lower light.
