I was surprised to see the name of your layout for I have been in zempoala collecting plants 20 years ago.
the hardscape was well executed for the size of the tank.
The stone are I think well balnced perhaps a little bigger stone in the right side would have define the space better.
As for the plants I would like to see the hair grass more dense and to help the tank look more mature; the moss on the rocks I find it to be the dominant plant in your layout but the HC is completely lost you really have to look for it in the picture.
Over all is a clean layout with good use of the space. I suggest to pay more attention in your foreground in you next layout to improve the look of your design.
