Nope - never done

How about some hardscape in there? A nice piece of driftwood or a few nice stones?

Good start my only comments would be some hard scape, rocks driftwood etc. need some height variation looks like just a bunch of tall plants , or just move some to the said a little space in spots can make a big difference!

As mentioned you will never truly be done

As others have said, you have a great start on this tank. I love the sand; it reminds me of a beach. Your next step might be to try to put the tallest plants in the back or on the sides, with some shorter plants in front of them.

Some rock or wood, yes, but otherwise, if you're trying to make a slice out of nature, you just about did it! Perfectly jungle-looking (my style there). Good job! Now, all you need is a pair of bolivian rams...
