Nandy your attempt is real commendable...you have everything with you perfect plants...but can understand few things...

1)why ADA with Riccia??? 2)Why HG upto the right extreme corner, will spoil the depth. 3) I think in the group you have three pieces of wood, try to arrange with mixed thickness...as in upper side maximum are thin woods.4) Can be create some very interesting rock arrangement. As you have already done everything so no need to change, grow plants and enjoy...the main layout could be like the PIC...

Thanks sushant. Thought of rearranging the stones, but riccia is growing pretty fast and covering the patches..
