My comments on yours: I love the left side of your tank, the rock, the bright green ambulia. I like it. The right side looks a bit haphazard. It looks like it's growing in very well, but it doesnt appear aquascaped. I do like the hardscape, but its completely gone on the right side now that those large stems have grown in.
The light fixture hanging from the ceiling is creative, but I think a normal fishtank strip light would have been much easier and would have made for a cleaner look. Maybe make a canopy or legs instead of suspension. Regardless, I would lower the light, as long as it doesnt create too much heat.
I'm curious to see your next "fauna" post, as I think this tank has a lot of potential, and your current fauna stocking list is unique for this forum.

A comment!
I'm pleased with the left side too, and thing the same thing about the right side. I didn't really know how the stems were going to perform when I put them in there, and frankly, had no idea what to do with the hygro ceylon. I don't particularly like it - it seems impossible to create a clean look with it, at least in a tank this size.
I'm planning on switching the positions of the hygro difformis and the hygro ceylon friday ... today ... maybe I'll get around to it tomorrow. The difformis just won't grow "up", so it might make some good ground cover in front of that rock, and allow me to actually see my hygro sunset, which is coloring up nicely. I'm open to suggestions though.
Maybe something to replace the ceylon as a background plant? I'm thinking about getting rid of the star grass too; I got a starter package that had a lot of different stuff in it, and I don't need all these species.
Yeah ... didn't want to spend the money on another coralife, or wait for it to arrive. I'm not sure how well I could fit two of those lights on the tank with a HOB filter either.
