Well I think I'm finally done. Note able changes are:

-Mounted the driftwood to a slate tile so it would stop floating
-Added more live plants
-Added more rocks
-Re mounted the internal filter water bar as well as the plant around it. I actually bought some small tubing suction cups to force the plant how I want it.

Thanks! Now I just hope I can keep the plants alive. I really need to get a 5500-7000k bulb.

Though I suspect pool filter sand would look just as good.
