very nice! Too bad there isn't some way to get better light distribution with the un-modded setup. It seems like you're getting the spotlight effect. Maybe you could try grow in the sides with desk lamps, then remove them once they've grown in? IMO that might flow better than the moss on the sides.

First of all I'd like to say that this is my first high-tech tank and my second planted tank ever so if I'm doing anything wrong then you all know why. I've spent the last month researching so I'm pretty sure i have the right idea. Any helpful info will be appreciated.
Quick overview of my tank: So I made my hardscape with Fluval Shrimp Stratum and Seriyu Stone. I did not use the DSM and just submerged right away to cut down on time. Took a little over 2 weeks for my cycle. My goal with this tank is to have a nice thick DHG carpet and maybe add moss arond the edges of the tank where the light is dim and DHG may not reach.
Here are some iphone4 pics! haha
So you guys have an idea how my lighting system is set up.
Heres a pic of my tank right after I planted and filled it with water. I did prune too short and did have some of the grass die a little.
