Thanks!
The thin driftwood is local. There are "peat area's" here which contains wood conserved for thousands of years. But it's tricky wood and rather soft.
Some problems (algea...) where directly related to this wood and now I don't use it anymore. Pitty, but I am more satisfied with the tropical wood.

Floating plants : Limnobium laveagatum

The tank is great, but bigggg. I find it rather easier to aquascape a smaller tank. With such a big tank, you have really a lot of space to fill in. Also you need a lott of plants, wood or rocks. It's almost impossible ($$) to plant the tank and the first step in aquascaping is always 'grow much plants and scape later'. The latest aquascape contains now 150 (!) stems of stargrass...
Bigger is not always better...in my opinion. The maintenance is huge and you almost have to swimm...to get something done in the back..
