I like the arrangement of the wood. I'm looking forward to seeing how the plants fill in. What plants do you have?

Valisneria nana has nice thin leaves that can get very long. You do have to be careful about it sending out runners. I like Cyperus helferi for a flowing, grassy look. It does grow slowly though and can be prone to algae.

I will look into Val Nana. Looks like a good plant idea.
