1) I like the rocks & I think the arrangement will work as long as the short ones are not completely buried by plants

2) Choose your focal point carefully (top of tall rock - remember phi)

3) If that substrate has been sitting w/o any fish or inverts in the tank, it is no longer cycled, so plan on doing a fishless cycle or using a filter from a cycled tank or choosing your initial fauna carefully.

4) I think that background will detract from the scape. I'd go for a light solid or wash... but that's me.
