So I was going for the mangrove root type setup, but I don't have any mangrove roots so driftwood had to do. Couldn't get any real great pics with my phone but y'all get the idea. Let me know what you think and what you would change -thanks in advance-

And one of half of my puffers - I'll try to update with some other stock photos when my camera charges,

I think it looks awesome. The roots go far up enough so your archers can spit at food on them. Only thing I would add is some ruby and green scats (scats are awesome) and maybe a few more plants near the center of the setup. Overall, it looks really good.
 
Looks very cool! Can you add more plants on the sides? I'd re concerned about the puffer jumping out though.

I have one ruby scat in there now, I'll try to get some pics.

I've never had any issues with them jumping, Theres 3 gsp's and an f8. They would have to make at least a 9 inch vertical jump to clear the plexi-glass inclosure.

Thanks for the comments and I'm gonna dig out some more plants and see how it looks -
 
Some more pics - All opinions welcome - I'm pretty happy with it, I just want to ditch the bubble strip and get a smaller powerhead. But my wife love's the bubbles and the fish seem to love playing in the currents/flow.

Added some more plants -
