Different colored rocks are not looking good. Try to rearrange the rocks.

:1. go with Rajeev ji's advice.
If you are planning to go for iwagumi set up, reduce the over all depth of substrate and level the surface else slope it to gradually decrease from back to front.

locally, where? I mean those are not bad looking rocks, infact they are quite nice :)
but....they are not the right proportion for this size tank

for a suggestion, I would say, if you connect the two rock outcrops with a branchy driftwood, you will manage a nice looking concave layout...

I thought these rocks will not suitable for planted tanks. I saw the same rocks earlier. They release calcium in water.

If you want an easy way out, contact Aamir or Neeraj for commercial ferts.
