I would bunch the anubias up near or tied onto the driftwood.

Good start.

I like it, just make sure the anubias isn't planted over the rhizome or it will die.it looks like anubias petite to me.

Just finshed doing some relandscaping before i put my fish in. I used a smaller piece of drift wood so my fish would have more space.
let me know what u guys think!

i also picked up a new Jager water heater!

looks good, just make sure the rhizome of the anubis aren't buried!

[lexbomb]

I liked it more before, sorry

It looks to be time for a serious trim to me. You have a very good jungle going there.
