So, even though i said i wasn't going to change anything, i just wasn't liking what i had. I really wanted to deal with this before i got new fish as i don't have any holding tank or anything yet.
I'm not happy with this but i feel it's more "workable" for me to do what i want, make small changes more easily, etc.
I plan on some sort of moss or HC, not the whole bottom but some ground cover soon. I have to wait until i'm happy with the layout obviously.
