Yes the lighting comes from the bottom at the back. I used a simple fluocompact tube from the hardware store.

There is a bit of blue that shows in the middle. I used some blue acetate sheet that I...

And another step forward!
I replaced the sheet with a wooden board, it looks much better.

I still need to change the tank's light, I am currently learning how to assemble my own LED lighting.

My main criticism is as Astex said, the wood is obviously the focal point and so should be moved at the golden ratio spot. Also, the vals and the plants bunched in the right look kinda messy.

I need to change the lighting for my 25g. I had Coralife PC, but the ballast died.

I thought about painting the bak glass with frosted spray paint, but unless I am sure it will work well I prefer to try something less permanent.

I see you have different types of rock. You should choose only one type, and get more of it. If you mix rocks it doesn't look natural.

attaching anubias

I remember reading that you need to cut roots when attaching anubias to a new rock or wood. Do you cut the roots completely? Or just trim it very short?
