Always exciting to get a new tank going!
As far as fertz - quariumfertilizer.com is the best place I know of. A few 1lb bags will last you over a year with this tank.
i would at least recommend Potassium Niyrate, Monopotassium Phosphate and Plantex CSM+B. Dosing guides and calculators are all over the web so just do a quick google search. Off the top of my head rota.la is a good one.
As gar as scape goes, play around some more, you have the luxury of sitting with it for a while before you get going. IMO, (and this is just constructive criticism, everyone has their own taste so do what you think looks best) Wood usually looks better coming from a corner. The position you have it in looks a little out of place, but if you plan on filling in the left rear with tall dense plants, this could change completely. Maybe turn it around and break off the end if you have to and have it spreading to the right side of the tank from the back corner? I have seen a lot of successful scapes done that way.
Either way, great start and look forward to the updates!
