Thanks guys for your suggestions! I will decrease the slope a bit.

About Blyxa - ouch. Yeah, it could grow up to 15cm which might reach the top... Maybe just a few bushes behind the stones and trim of the side shoots from big plant and replant when they grow while removing big plant? Or maybe go with E. tenellus behind a from sides?

Also background... I have 5-6" in there and not sure if vivipara be a sufficient plant for the background as it could grow up to 60cm... of course regular trimming but keeping vivipara at only 5" tall might not look good. Any suggestions/experience?

Craig - You make a valid point. Additionally, I am fearful of the color of blyxa if it develops that rust tinge on the blades. It might distract a bit...

Although not very helpful, but i think all your scapes looked great in their own right! I do however like the last one the best so far though.
