Got that done last night and realized I wasn't going too end up filling the tank so I took the driftwood out and threw it in the old 20g for the night so the moss and anubias wouldn't dry up and become a crispy critters. Ended up taking the piece of slate off the driftwood and switching the positioning/layout of the driftwood.

Planting has begun, but won't get finished up till later tonight I will have planted pics either tonight or tomorrow morning. I promised updates though. I plan on doing some serious planning because I don't want too dig things up with this scape constantly like the last tank, I want it too be setup for good more or less *even though my ADD is like "yeah ooooookay we will see about that" lol* I really do plant on letting it grow, trim, etc. I have some ideas that I need too finalize probably going to actually sketch it out. I would like this too be more polished looking, but still a jungle. Pretty sure that 2 plants will be leaving for sure though and moved too the old 20g on the rack.
I am opting too start a new journal for a few reasons, but mainly this is a new setup and I wanted people too be able too follow the progress more easily instead of looking through 2100+ posts too find the beginning of this tank. This will be another consolidation journal though and I will be posting updates off all my tanks in this journal.
