The rocks are nice.
Scaping, kinda ok...
But Seems like your light is too low? Not sure from pics. How many watts is your lighting?
I see like u have glosso.. glosso needs high light for them to spread. if u have low light,
glosso will grow upwards instead.
*
Thanks on your comment Doncityz.
This is my 1st attemp on aquascaping. inspired by sifu at MAC on iwagumi. LOL
Already change the light to 36w. last night i'm using a normal 11w to take pic.

Notice a flat surface at the main stone?
Plan to put moss to cover it. or got any other suitable plant??
nana maybe..

glosso!! tongue.gif

in my limited exp, you need to plant the glosso deeper into the soil. coz last time i plant like that, the glosso grows towards light.

how i plant it, i trim the root of individual runner, then using tweezer, grab the end of the root, and then pull it deep into soil, leaving only a lil bit of leaf exposed to light. only after then it trails n stop growing vertically.

just my humble opinion btw...
*
i know i have to do like that. but i was to lazy tongue.gif
later tonight will rearrange the glosso. had to sacrifice my badminton session

it's a type of algae thats usually sold to people..a lot nowadays  brows.gif
Righto!!
yup, using 2 super giant marimos and cut the open.
the best thing using it is, it really nice since you can have those carpet feelings when you see ones and you dont need to trim them..ever, maybe at least 20years or so.
but cons, they float, they extremely epicly uber slow to grow and when you have brown spot or some of them dying, it wont heal until a few months and canm be quite expensive to cover alot of ground, mine x2 13cmx7cm cost me about RM50  sweat.gif , too pricey for me, but thankfully i got some spare marimos to sacrifice  tongue.gif

*
better you dont post the pic at marimo pages or they'll rage to find out you purposely cut the ball whistling.gif
my marimo became hollow inside, i can easily make carpet from it without cutting..

well, for one, they do sell the ready made marimo carpets
btw, i cut them up since they were sick(brown spots and one of them becomes hollow in the middle) so i make them carpet, then realized, they started to turn more green and less brown spots can be seen. weird  hmm.gif

*
brown spot happened maybe because you didnt rotate the ball. so, only 1 side is get the photoperiod.
but, mine also got brown spot. now is in my freezer..

yes...mine grown with excel only n 22w of light, still manage to trail them...but need time la to 'teach' them to trail...  doh.gif 

what i do, i cut them into individual root, then trim the root to be at most 1 cm, hold the end of root with tweezer n then pull the individual runner deep into soil, leaving only small part of leaf exposed to light... they wil grow out from soil, then for 3 or 4 days looks like they stop growing.... if all goes well, they wont grow sky high n starts to grow side shoot to trail... if they still grow upright, uproot the plant, cut/trim as needed n then do the same thing again...

in my experience, with excel n 22w light still can grow.... but the growth is so slow it makes you want to scream WTF!!. buthen, tis is a hobby that requires patience wat... biggrin.gif
*
i already replant my glosso same like you do. but still they grow upward.
later will pluck and plant again..

- tat's why most of us only go to only reputable LFS ONLY. we dont go to LFS hat have poor behaviour and those that only know how to sell their stuff but they dont even know what stuff they are selling and simply recommend anything to their customer as long they got money.

You got any reputable LFS here in JB to recommend?

whats the ideal photoperiod time for planted tank?
cause usually i switch on the light at 7am and put it out only after i come back home around 7pm.

is it ok for new tank or will that cause an algae bloom???
