The swords seem to be doing well as is the multicolored algae seen at the front of the soil layer.

What would you suggest to enhance without creating too much debris.

Dear Avenolpey,

Nice tank. That's very interesting looking algae!

How about some moss and/or ferns on the wood, some floating plants, small grassy plants like Hairgrass or Pygmy Chainsword along the front and on the left side (you can plant them with tweezers so the soil doesn't get disturbed), and stem plants behind the wood (you can plant them with tweezers too)?

From Alex.
