Classic example of a healthy, vibrant planted aquarium. Since you've asked for criticism which perhaps may be a little controversial, I feel that I must oblige:

1) Take out the Echinodorus, it will get too big and is too centrally placed anyways.

3) Uproot more of that Sagittaria subulata (?), the dwarf sag, and let the glossotigma grow in all the way across. I would use the dwarf sag interspersed among the glosso as accents. It looks far more natural.

3) How much lighting do you have on this tank? Looking at your stargrass and Hemianthus micranthemoides, I wonder if they are getting enough light to grow horizontally?

4) Do you like Dutch-style layouts with stringent plant groupings or Nature Aquarium style/Amano style layouts with rockwork and driftwood worked into the aquascape? Choose a path to explore, so we can help you out and try to give thoughts based on your tastes...

Best,

Carlos
