First of all I would take out all the fake decor and replace it with a nice size piece of driftwood. Since you only have 25 watts of lighting stick with low light plants like Anubias, Hornwort, Crypts, Java fern/moss. Also make sure that the bulb you have is a plant bulb (5500k-10000k). Buy as many of these low light plants as you can afford and fill the tank with them. Adding a background cover to the back glass will hide the equipment, make the plants stand out and make the overall appearance of the tank look neat.
