I got some manzanita wood from here a long time ago and now I am back at it again and finally found some Ohko stones. This is a 29g, so I was hoping to be able use its height as much as possible. Here are 2 scapes, the first 2 is kind of an island and the last 2 allows for a higher slope. Hopefully I can make everything 1 inch higher with dirt. The foreground will be dwarf sag and the back will be cryptocoryne or valisneria, and anubias, and java ferns. What do you guys think? Should I make a higher slope or will it look okay with the java fern and anubias?

Another view of the first scape

I probably think the triangle style would be a better way to go for the pieces you have. One major thing I would set out the hardscape in a corner rather than smack dab in the middle of the tank.

that's a great idea. it would look more natural and the plants would look better that way. thanks i will do that

edit: here's a corner scape which allows for a higher slope. or should I ditch the slope idea and go with the something like the last two pics? ignore the driftwood, i need to repair a lot of them as they broke in the tank moving process

Thanks guys. I actually did go with the last one. This is 1 week in but now am thinking of adding anubias petite and moss to the driftwood and something in the midground. Any suggestions for the midground?

What works best about the hardscape arrangement you ended up choosing is that neighboring stones all have their grain going in the same direction. Should fill out nicely. I like that you did not add one of those white paths going down the center.
