Started a new tank and wanted to get some suggestions. I think I'm going to put some sand in the front and was thinking a lot of buce in spots, hair grass in between the big rocks and crevices. Maybe monte carlo on the right slope but not sure what to do on the left. Suggestions welcome !

Moved your thread to the Aquascaping section so you'll get more/the right eyes on it.

What kind of lighting will you be using? Will you have pressurized CO2? Will you be dosing EI ferts? Some other method? Which substrate are you using?

Knowing more about the specifics of your setup will help others make suggestions. But you're obviously off to a great start.

Can you replace the driftwood with rocks, the rock work looks outstanding and the driftwood looks slightly out of place.

If you want to stick to rocks and driftwood, then you will need to add more driftwood.

I see what Sudhir is saying with the driftwood looking out of place. I disagree, as imho it looks like a desert scape right now with that blue background and dead tree. Personally I'd plant it sort of sparsely with some shrubby plants. Maybe some Staurgyne, maybe some bronze Crypts or dwarf hair grass plugs around/in between the rocks. Perhaps a banana plant if you're feeling cheeky.

I too feel that the wood you have looks out of place. While you are still in the layout phase, I may suggest shifting all of the stone to the right, the stone on the lower left looks quite close to the glass and could make cleaning the glass in that area annoying.
